| | Tasted by Francophile1 on 4/21/2023 & rated 92 points: I’ve been enjoying this wine slowly over the past 3 years. It continues to be one of my favorite Sauv. Blancs. Wonderful floral nose and a citrus flavor profile with prominent notes of grapefruit. Yum! (567 views) |
| | Tasted by spendergast on 4/3/2023 & rated 95 points: This wine continues to drink very well with notes similar to my last tasting 10 months ago: notes of green apple, citrus, floral notes, grass clippings and herbs - nicely balanced. Paired with stir fried Dungeness crab. One of my all time favorite SB. (435 views) |

| | Tasted by spendergast on 6/17/2022 & rated 95 points: An amazing sauvignon blanc - notes of green apple, citrus, floral notes, grass clippings and herbs, all in harmonious balance. Nice acidity and lang finish, this wine paired beautifully with crab meat rissoto. This is my first bottle of this vintage and look forward to seeing how it evolves over the next few years.

| | Tasted by Francophile1 on 5/30/2022 & rated 92 points: Up front disclosure… I normally do not like drinking Sauvignon Blanc. However, I would drink this every day if I had enough of it. Similar to my tasting note from Oct. 2020 with the same recommendation to drink this around 50 degrees if you want to taste everything it has to offer. If you serve it too cold, it will deaden the aroma and flavor. This would go great with sushi but I actually think it is best enjoyed by itself while sitting outside on a hot summer day. Frederic Engerer has made some nice improvements to this estate. (936 views) |
| | Tasted by lovemycab on 4/25/2022 & rated 91 points: After loving the last bottle, this one a year later was a bit different.
Lot's of citrus notes especially grapefruit along with notes of grassiness. Overall, nice acidity and balance, but the grapefruit was a bit too pronounced and held this back from being as great as it can be. Will see if an off bottle or a bit more time will balance this back out like the last bottle. (659 views) |
| | Tasted by AB16 on 12/30/2021 & rated 93 points: Light straw color. Alluring nose of grapefruit, citrus, with notes of nz grassiness. In the mouth, very balanced with a wonderful depth of fruit, citrus and great acid. Not over done, great food beverage. This is a winner! (893 views) |

| | Tasted by FoinZap on 2/11/2021 & rated 92 points: Very pale yellow in color, with a hint of light green. Tart, citrus-y nose, a slight green note. Palate is pear, lemon peel, a spicy element like clove (?), light- to medium-weight, subtly bitter mid-palate to finish. I did not taste side-by-side with the Eisele SB, but my sense is this is a notch below in terms of integration and balance. Very nice though. (806 views) |
| | Tasted by bubbachumps on 1/21/2021 & rated 93 points: Ken's High Flying Hermitage (Ken's Castle): Delicious sauvignon blanc. Crisp and refreshing bouquet and palate, with an underlying creaminess on the finish. Stone fruits, cirtus and faint peach on the nose. Crisp acidity, but not linear by any stretch, coats the palate nicely. Really really enjoyed. (1095 views) |
| | Tasted by BrunelloBob on 1/9/2021 & rated 90 points: Liked this. More in the NZ vein, but not overdone, and very long. QPR? (682 views) |
| | Tasted by bubbachumps on 12/21/2020 & rated 93 points: Delicious sauvignon blanc. Tasting note from memory tried a sip from a bottle consumed by my wife. Crisp and refreshing bouquet and palate, with an underlying creaminess on the finish. Really really good. Could gain appoint or 2 with time in the bottle. (745 views) |
| | Tasted by RobeBro on 11/4/2020 & rated 94 points: Nose of white peaches, rose petals, lemongrass. Pale straw color. Very seductive burst of stone fruits, citrus, with notes of marzipan. Vibrant and fresh, long finish. Looking forward to another bottle. (615 views) |
| | Tasted by Francophile1 on 10/22/2020 & rated 92 points: One of the best bottles of Napa Sauv. Blanc I have ever had. Do not serve it colder than 50 degrees for maximum expression. Kudos to Mr. Engerer and team! Pairs great with sushi. (765 views) |
| | Tasted by RonniePiemonte on 6/19/2020 & rated 94 points: Outstanding tangerine nose. Layered palate with minerals. Smooth and silky. (792 views) |
