Light straw color. Alcoholic nose and of course unbalanced and hot palate. Light weight and hot finish. Not becoming to the famous winery. All in all, an unpleasant surprise.

Nose: tropical fruit and slight floral quality and hint of greenness Taste: star fruit with a hint of green herb (parlsey?) on the finish, pretty underwhelming especially at this price. I'd take a bottle of their 100% semillion any day. Vague "off" qualities through the midpalate that in a blind tasting I'd say this was a well made but cheap white blend from California. At this price I'd have to actively recommend against.

A bit green, showing definite sauv blanc character. Crisp and not overoaked, but somehow this wine doesn't work for me right now as well as past vintages of this.

Nice tropical and floral nose. Rich, almost viscous body with melon, pear, and some minerality. Finishes with bright acids and good length.
