Very impressed. Powerful nose of blackberry, blueberry, and spice. Full-bodied amazing mid-palate with bright fruit. Integrated tannins and a wonderful finish. Can't wait to try in a couple of years.
Funky earth, barnyard, green pepper on the nose. Interesting. Lots of sediment too. Fruit came out after and hour open. Balanced nicely with the funk. I like it for $11.
Great SB. Intense grapefruit, lemon, and grass on the nose. Nice minerality and stone in the moth with a zippy long finish. Favorite out of the whites at a tasting.

Overwhelming oak on the nose...hint of vanilla. Not a lot of fruit at all. Unpleasant tannins. Pass.
