The wine is smooth with a pleasant palate. It is not a strong SB which I assume will favor those who prefer low alcohol and mild finish. There was some sweetness in the wine which added complexity. I was, however. Not overwhelmed. I had this wine after release and found it better. It had more SB character. I compared the wine now to a Chablis. So, drink up. I will be consuming my 2023 bottles within the next year and not waiting until 2027.

Packed with dense gooseberry fruit and elderflowers. It is certainly not a shy expression of the grape but it has a lovely acidity that makes the wine fairly balanced. Overall, this is in a lovely place and I liked it a lot! Lively length without being overdone by the high alcohol. Great wine!

VERY interesting non-traditional Sauvignon Blanc. Opened up after 45 minutes with mineral and floral tones which is interesting and not surprising as Realm is an amazing winery. Complex notes and mid-to-heavy mouthfeel. Excellent overall but needed the time to breath.
