March 1, 2014 - Approximate tasting date indicated. Look, for $70 anyway, a sauv blanc had better be pretty impressive. I have been impressed by the differently styled but quite tasty Jonata and Peter Michael offerings. I really like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume. So really I don't dislike the grape in the least. BUT I really found this wine majorly disappointing. I got general grapefruity citrus notes with cat pee in the background. The mouth feel is nothing special, the finish was a little unpleasant. With increasing air it got increasingly worse. Not worth the money, at least in this vintage. A person who recommended this to me also recommended the Jonata Flor. What a difference there is between the wines. Score is based on my palate - many would put it higher.
