I saw that the '22's of this wine just got a 95 rating from WS so decided to pop a bottle. I am not ususally a Sauv Blanc guy - but I love this wine. Wonderful tropical fruits, banana and vanilla. None of the grassy flavors that New Zealand versions tend to have (that is not my preference). Excellent. This is a Chardonnay lovers kind of Sauv Blanc

Nose of bruised peach, grass, rich citrus like orange or Meyer lemon. The palate is rich and medium plus bodied with a slightly oily mouth coating aspect surrounding a sweet orchard fruit core. It’s almost like the juice of fruit cocktail. Yet there remains a freshness to this wine. Only tainted by a slightly bitter alcohol note upper palate on the finish.do pleasurable.

Continues to drink well with notes of apple, citrus and herbs. Well balanced with good acidity. Satisfying finish. Paired with seafood curry.
