Sauvignon Blanc from Howell Mountain. Pretty explosive notes of gooseberries, ripe lemon, some freshly cut grass, also some leafy notes of mint, also a touch of seashell minerality. It's medium+ bodied, with good persistence, has medium+ acidity and pretty good length. A nice, SB that shows quite some varietal character, there is a touch of alcohol that is recognizable and it could use a touch more freshness from my perspective. Still very good.

Smooth, pineapple, lemon, finishes smoothly and with notes of guava, want just a touch more acid on the finish. Although some library selections are occasionally offered, I really think this drinks much better young. 92-93

Still less moving than previous vintages but offers up fresh notes of stone fruit, lime, moderate body, touch of sweetness. 93

Tropical notes on the nose, good balance on the palate with stone fruit, acid, honey. Very good for the vintage slightly less body than previous. 92
