  Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Absolutely fantastic. Agreed, best SB that I've experienced. Completely unique in style. An eccentric beast that may actually be worth the price tag.
  Medium golden apple juice color. Looked like it had some age on it, though it was only an '06! Golden raisins, honey, vibrant vanilla with a nice fatty oiliness.
  The palate is a beautiful elegant weight while still showing excellent acid structure. Some sweet peaches, white flowers and soft white pepper flavors dance on the tongue.
  A real nice focused core of fruit with some hints of butter - though still a refreshing bottling ala Cali SB. Some sea breeze on the back end. Very little minerality though it has the rest of the kitchen sink.
  Yummy and I would dare to say this bottling is in a league of its own. Highly recommended.

  The best sauvignon blanc I've ever had. Gorgeous pineapple nose and flavors of tropical fruits.
