Pale gold with a green rim. I enjoyed this matured Sauvignon Blanc which has some heft, with an aromatic nose and intense tropical fruits, a mineral streak and a long tangy mandarin finish. (886 views)

1 hour decant and it was barely opened. Once it opened it is a full bodied, perfectly balanced sauv blanc with a long finish. One of the best valued wines in Napa and from a famed vineyard. This is still 2-5 years from prime and should drink well for another decade. (1127 views)

A short Afternoon with some New World-wines (Mövenpick retail store, Hamburg): starting with flavours of wet grass, very fresh therefore on the green side of white wine, granny smith apples, lacking some finesse but rather fullbodied, ending long, for the next 3-5 years? too expensive in Europe for what it is (20€) (1855 views)

Clear and light yellow. Layered nose with notes of peaches, tropical fruits and a bit grassy too. Great attack, moderate acidity (5/10) and very dry medium finish. Soft notes on the palate like stone fruits. Dryness lingers. Drink till 2019. (1126 views)

Pale lemon colour. The nose shows pronounced intensity aromas of lemon peel, lime, green bell pepper, passion fruit and hints of cedar.

It is dry in the mouth with a high acidity. It has a medium+ alcohol and a medium body. It has pronounced intensity flavours and a long finish.

It is a good quality wine. It has a lingering finish and a juicy concentration well-balanced by the acidity, and a relatively moderate alcohol. However it is a bit simple in the nose. (1097 views)

Quite tropical on the nose with pineapple, mango, and maybe even a hint of banana? Palate is quite round and plush for Sauvignon Blanc, with pineapple, lime, and a little streak of acid keeping the wine from going over the edge into "flabby" territory. Tasty wine at reasonable price point for Napa Valley if you can find it for $15 or under. (1207 views)

A nice version of Sauvignon Blanc. The focus is on rounded fruit and less of the more typical acidity/grapefruit/citrus ambience of typical SB's, especially from New Zealand. Simple and satisfying. (1152 views)

This is a very well made wine. Green apple, ripe lemon, white peach, melon, with a hint of grassiness. Clean aromas and palate, with medium to medium (+) acidity. The alcohol is high at 14.5%. This vintage has 6% Semillon which adds some unexpected richness and roundness, as does the lees aging and oak aging. A great food wine and a good value at this price point. It has much more complexity and is more versatile than the typical NZ SB in the same price range. (1223 views)

Right into the glass, the nose is almost a damp rag. As it warms and opens up, you get melons, mangos, pineapple, honeysuckle, as the earthy and minerals start to subside. Creamy and buttery on the mouthfeel. Low acid, and not terribly complex. Still a nice summer sipping wine. (1195 views)
