I got the same impression that this had some poorly integrated oak, but was surprised to find out this wine was entirely fermented and aged in stainless steel. Maybe the flavor would be better described as stemmy. I wouldn't say it's unpleasant, just different. Besides that, flavors of gooseberry, nectarine, and sweet pea. Not bad, but there are much better varietal examples from Napa.

I did not like this wine at all. While I have enjoyed other Miner wines, this one just had nothing going for it. Too much Oak in a Sav. Blanc? I didn't think that would be possible? I don't recommend this. Sorry, but once in awhile, one has a wine that they just don't care for and this is one of them for me.

crisp clean refreshing. rather faint and fleeting hints of fresh grass, and lemon on the nose.
