Very pale yellow, almost white in the glass. Nose is pleasant with good aromatics: pineapple, lemon, herbal notes with a hint of grapefruit. Light to medium bodied with a lot of citrus (lemon, grapefruit) on the palate. Nice acidity comes into play on the back of the palate along with some lemongrass to add some herbal notes to the citrus. The finish is pure lemon and grapefruit. Not in a bad way, but very puckering. I thought this Sauv Blanc was a good representation of the varietal. Your enjoyment of it probably depends on how much you like or dislike the flavor profile I've described. For me, I would definitely buy and drink again.

Lucious mouth watering acidity with lemon peel aroma, grapefruit, baked bread, crisp minerality. Long bright finish on mid palate. Good with Salmon with Dill sauce.

Probably fading - did not have much to it at this point, no finish and just a little bit of acidity.

Not grassy at all, some citrus, not terribly complicated

Good - nice clean flavors, but light on character. I like my SB with a bit more oomph. This was almost without profile.
