August 8, 2020 - Platinum in the glass.
Nose: Grapefruit zest, lemon/lime, bit of lemongrass.
Mouth: Pure grapefruit peel, white pear, and juiced orange lead a light midpalate of honeysuckle flower and light lemongrass. Finish introduces new notes of wet slate and a bit of grated ginger, adding good length and lip-smacking character to the ending.
Overall: Delicate in profile, but silken, and still with good crispness throughout. Surprisingly persistent. The little flourishes on the finish are a nice surprise from what was expected. A pretty insane value at $9. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now - 2021.
