Nose: Tropical Fruits including Pineapple, Melon and Meyer Lemon. Nice floral notes and a touch of lavender. Very fragrant. Palate: Dense palate weight conveys a loaded wine. The fruit notes are strong and there is a nice honeysuckle note to this now. Finish: Vibrant and racy with good acidity and green apple notes. - Consumed from Magnum
Last bottle for me, but if you have some hanging around I recommend drinking up. This was excellent with quinoa salad, cucumber soup and grilled chicken.

Nose: Honeydew Mellon, Lime, Meyer Lemon and Jasimine. Fragrant and tropical. Palate: Gained density since last tasting. The tropical and citrus fruits fill the mouth and have a nice earthy element behind them. Finish: Lemon Curd, Tart Pineapple and hints of lemongrass/herbs. This is nearly in the same leauge as Merry Edwards at this stage. Will hold 2 more bottles till spring.

Nose: Grapefruit, Mellon, Hint of vanilla. Attack: Really refreshing fruit flavors that have a lemon peel characteristic with touches of mellon and jasmine. Finish: Beautiful and lingering. Among the best SB made in Napa.
