  Well....bottle #2 of this....blind tasted tonight.
  All of the previous notes hold true from the 1 st bottle.
  However , this is an unconventional SB:
  Two of the four tasters at table thought that it might be a Chalone Pinot Blanc , due to the melon characteristics , fairly soft acidity, and more notes of kiwi fruit.....holding well for a 5 year old new world white.

  A five year old Sauv Blanc from Napa.
  On nose: nectarine , melon rind and sea salt.
  On palate: the above flavours in addition to notes of roasted almonds and a prescence of tart , clean lemon rind ....a very pleasant medium bodied New World wine.
  Crisp enough to pair with shellfish, and full bodied enough to work well with Salmon ( tonight) or with cold chicken and potato salad on a hot day.

  Clean, crisp, lemon, grass, a bit herbaceous, prominent acididity this bottle as a touch on the one dimensional side, paired with roasted pork loin.
