Community Tasting Notes (average 88.3 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 12 notes) | |
| Tasted by bacchus on 4/1/2010 & rated 90 points: hard to believe that it has been a year since i last tasted this wine. first purchase was based on limited store selection on short notice. subsequent purchases due to heavily discounted price. the wine has held up well over the year. it is still fresh and clean. not sure why inventory is being moved out. although, i have to say it was a bit overpriced at $18. at current price level it offers through the roof qpa. the tropicals are not overdone and the semillon adds a bit of oomph. will go back for whatever is left.

| Tasted by jedly on 8/25/2009 & rated 88 points: A pretty Cali SB, but my reviews may be a bit biased as I prefer the NZ SB style. Not as much grapefruit as I like, and a touch more herbaciousness than I like, but it was a solid wine. Had with grilled shrimp and fresh backed bread with sweet Irish butter. Don't be afraid of this wine, but be careful on the price. If you like the Cali style, this seems to be one of the tops. But, for my money, I would prefer buying a solid bottle from NZ and having $10 left in my pocket. (342 views) | |
| Tasted by robnmo on 7/10/2009 & rated 87 points: faint aromas of citrus and melon on the nose. On the palate this is restrained in comparison with New Zealand. Nice acidity with mango, pineapple, lemon and lime on the palate. A nice change of pace for a SB. (442 views) | |
| Tasted by *Vine* on 6/24/2009 & rated 88 points: Unscrewed and poured. Pale lemon/straw hue. Pleasant aromas of citrus, honeydew melon, wax, and freshly mowed grass. Medium-light body. Subtle flavors of lemon, tropical fruit, and minerals. Average finish. An elegant and restrained example of Sauvignon Blanc that doesn't posses any of the harsh, herbaceous notes that can sometimes mar this varietal. Perfect for sipping on a hot day. (507 views) | |
| Tasted by danstrings on 5/30/2009 & rated 90 points: Dinner with Amy Ann -- solid as a rock, spicy fresh acidity yet a great rich mouthfeel. One of the best SBs in CA for sure. (459 views) | |
| Tasted by bacchus on 4/24/2009 & rated 89 points: haven't had alot of cali SB. i am glad to have discovered this one. not boring at all. great penetration of lemon, lime, pear and acidity. i don't know about the other components described by others. i think it can go another year without difficulty. stood up well to sauteed shrimp with italian spices. will try to find the estate grown which should kick it up a notch.

| Tasted by danstrings on 10/17/2008 & rated 90 points: Xanh Colin and his dad -- fresh and lively, great balance, great SB (616 views) | |
| Tasted by wino_tim on 10/10/2008 & rated 86 points: Subtle aromas of mineral, citrus, lemongrass and green melon give way to a racy, lean palate that reveals expressive flavors of wet stones and gun flint. (615 views) | |
| Tasted by danstrings on 9/13/2008 & rated 91 points: La Strada Brenda Cyn -- Awesome SB, one of Napa's best, loaded with balanced citrus/pineapple and honeyed elements. Very refreshing. (633 views) | |
| Tasted by duchamp on 8/12/2008 & rated 87 points: (from memory) Golden yellow, some grapefruit and lemongrass on the nose, palate was very green with green fruit, Meyer lemon and hints of mealliness, medium finish (655 views) |

Definition of "white wine" at Epicurious.com Varietal character (Appellation America) WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes! California Wines (Wine Institute of California) California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in over 100 viticultural areas, including dozens of different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
