Drank about 1/3rd of the bottle over an hour. This has a somewhat rounded and elegant profile. It is not at all reminiscent of a New Zealand sauvignon blanc, and I suspect there is at least a little bit of oak in this wine. Quite well done for a domestic SB, although not as interesting as the heavy hitter producers in France.

Decanted but I regrettably don't know how long, drank about 1/3rd of the bottle over 2 hours. Super heavy and powerful. I'm struggling for more descriptors because it is a big burly beast, although not jammy or sweet and only slightly alcoholic. The wine showcases vanilla oak, big fruit, pepper, sprice, iron and meaty notes.

Strawberries and baked bread, crisp, great rose quality. This was very nice.

A small pour from a half bottle. Forward and fruity for sure. Delicious blackberry and boysenberry. Sweet, fruity, liqueurish.
