A mere shadow of its former self 8-10 years ago, imo. Not sure if it's the vintage or the maker now, but it's a hollow impersonation from days gone by. It's still nice in that it makes people question what they're drinking, but it's somewhat hollow and weak compared to the highly thick and viscous vintages of years past. Needs to go back to more malo!
Once again.... notes that are consistent with my postings of recent vintages except......... this is better !!!!! I have stated that these wines are some of the better California Sauvignon Blancs out there and continue to scream out that fact. The wine remains a balanced Cali style SB that makes it an outstandng example of that style and terroir. The mouthfeel is viscous and delivers a creamy textured texture to he pallete
The flavors in mouth are fruit forward with ripe apple and peach, recent vintages it has a a touch of oaky vanilla and enough acidty to give it a clean expected finish of a Sauvignon Blanc. This is a balanced wine which does not let you down.

Coravin by the glass. Nose of nectarine, lemon, lime, chamomile and coconut. Palate mirrors the nose. Creamy with a long, soft dry finish. Well balanced. Served with chicken, leek soup and parmesan dumplings

Notes of green apple, herbs, lemon curd and minerals. Nicely balanced with silky mouthfeel and good acidity.

Eye: Very very pale straw.
Nose: Tropical fruit cocktail. Pear juice. Gently estery.
Palate: Moderate acidity. Gently stemmy. There’s a nice creaminess from the lees. More fruit cocktail. Pineapple.
Finish: Moderate length. Fruit cocktail, and maraschino cherries dissolve into smooth cream and a touch of salt.
NB: Drank from a half bottle.
