  This has developed nicely in the last couple of years. Still balanced, but generally deeper and richer. Nice use of oak, creating a resinous flavor and mouthfeel. I think this is at peak, and don't see a ton of improvement from here. No rush, but certainly no need to hold these any further.

  This may be the best new world sauv blanc I've ever had. Amazingly complex with acid so well balanced with almost a buttery feel that one may confuse it with a chard. I look forward to enjoying these all summer!

  Drinking my only bottle, but I can't help but think this is starting to fade. The nose is fresh with lemon juice and wet rocks, but the palate shows next to no fruit other than a spritz of lemon. That being said, there is more minerality here than I have tasted in any sauv blanc outside of France. The terroir comes through. You can feel the oak aging on the mouthfeel, it adds a smoothness to the wine but the oak is not apparent on the flavors. I look forward to trying a later vintage of this closer to release.

  Initially the nose is full of lemon juice and the palate is citrus with a firm mineral backbone and a very clean mouthfeel. After warming a bit, the palate becomes more lemon zest and lemon grass and the minerality calms a bit. The mouthfeel acquires a slightly oily texture. A really refreshing and enjoyable SB.

  Drank with Dick Keenan owner of Kick Ranch which was a treat. I love these wines. They have to be the best QPR in California right now. A richer and fuller bodied SB. A bit lacking on acidity but overall a nice rich mouthfeel with adequate delineation. Ripe pear and melon flavors with a nice burnt lime infused finish.
