  a little sweet, a bit nutty, sipping it very jchilled, storm outside, with a cheese plate. more enjoyable than the last bottle. maybe it needs some time? not a typical oaky chardonnay

  I thought this was a good all around winery until I had their sauvignon blanc. Reminded me of sour apple, like in boone's farm. Mix it with creme de cassis for a great cocktail, and make sure it is cold.

  Lemon-yellow in the glass. Mild intensity nose, showing grassy citrus. Pretty average sauvignon blanc, until the wine goes into the mouth... then it all falls apart.
  
  The flavor is, to put it mildly, awful. Sour, unde-ripe citrus, grass, medicinal herbs, and green pepper. Ick. Just... ick. Balance is decent -- but it's hard to get past the flavor of the wine to make an assessment. It's a little sweet, but not horribly so. Moderate acidity, light bodied. The finish is, thankfully, not terribly long, but I would have preferred it to be shorter.
  
  I can think of a large number of sauvignon blancs that are better, both at this price point and, indeed, less expensive. It's literally the worst sauvignon blanc I've had in years.
