  Pale lemon appearance. Medium intensity aromas of green apple, lemon, peach, wet stone, cut grass. Med+ acid, full-bodied, very plush rich mouthfeel. Lemon, pear, melon, asparagus, minerality on the palate. Nose is not as pronounced and aromatic as typical French or Australian Sauvignon Blanc but still very nice!

  Retail $75. Big. Ass. Bottle. It is not every day that a $75 Sauvignon Blanc lands on my doorstep, but that is what happened when this Covenant showed up here in Houston several months ago, that changed. It took me a while to open the bottle given the need to rent a fork lift to raise the bottle. Light straw in the glass, with a rather surprisingly muted nose give the aromatic quality of the variety of apple and lemon zest. The palate is round and smooth with hidden fruit and a subtle approach. While I struggle with the tariff here ($75, really?) this is a perfectly pleasant, even fantastic wine.
