13.2% alcohol. Weird nose on this bottle. It seemed as if something was amiss. The bouquet was purely like sweaty, stinky, old gym socks initially. Very unpleasant. Blew off with some air. The palate, however, was crisp and tropical and filled with grapefruit like the first bottle. Not sure what to make of that. Bouquet was a fail on this bottle, but the palate brings the overall grade to a B+.

13.2% alcohol. A stunningly good Sauvignon Blanc, with a beautifully fragrant bouquet of tropical fruit and minerals. In the mouth, a citrus edge comes into play with the tropical profile.

Citrus, grapefruit and lemon, and maybe gooseberries or some other light berry nose. Nice mouthfeel. Very refreshingly tart.

Varietal flavors and nose. Cat pee, acidity and a hint of melon or tropical fruit. Enjoyable but not astounding.
