this one was a "mystery bottle" in my cellar. no record of when, how, or what price to acquire. I also had no exp. with the name. so this one was judged based only on what was in the glass. I liked it a lot. Good nose with lots of citrus, grapefruit predominated. Crisp on the palate with proper acidity, citrus and fruit flavors. Not a complex wine but very enjoyable. Would decide between this and Kim Crawford based on price.

OK ... maybe I had a bad bottle ... and how does that happen with a screw cap? Grassy nose, but the fruit was undistinguishable on both the nose and palate. We couldn't tell what we were smelling or tasting. We tried it with both a tilipia and baked chicken ... it didn't work with either and SVs should.

Fresh tropical fruit nose with papaya, mango, and citrus. High acidity but with a creaminess that dulls the edge. Very pretty.

nose: strong grapefruit, passion fruit, a lot of citrus. taste: clean, crisp, grassy with good acidity. definitely will buy again.
