  Color light tone of yellow with mild green hues, light body. Sauv Blanc in the blend really comes through on the nose, with grass, wet stone, saline, greenness as from cucumber noted by another reviewer, and notes of citrus behind it. Fresh and clean on the palate, with lemon and perhaps out-of-season pineapple through bright acidity. Decent concentration and some herbs in the finish. The sour fruit and bright acidity were a bit much for me. Spouse wasn't all that excited about it, so I doubt I will buy again. Decent QPR at slightly higher retail of 10.

  This is a blend of 51% Sauvignon Blanc, 26% Chenin Blanc, and 23% Chardonnay. Pale yellow in the glass, with greenish hues where there's less light. On the nose I got peach, lemongrass, and a hint of citrus underneath. This was a medium bodied wine. Slight acidity up front, but it dissipates quickly. On the palate I got pineapple, and peach. The finish had a nice length and featured lemon, slight herbal notes, and a bit of pineapple. This was a very pleasant and easy drinking wine, and I think this would be a perfect summer wine, and would pair well with most white meat dishes.

  Solid QPR here. Sauvignon Blanc definitely comes through most in this bright crisp wine. The Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay balance it nicely. Grapefruit and tropical fruits. Well worth $8.

  Harmless. Grapefruit and maybe pear with good acidity but not particularly special and only good when thought of in terms of QPR.
