whoever thought this was kool aid needs to re-taste, or why did they bother to purchase it? Nice Sauv Blanc.

Nice dry PS for a WVA producer. Lambert's bottles 250,000 bottles annually of all of their varietals, all in stainless steel tanks. Great little producer.

Not sweet, but a lovely dry, true and light strawberry taste. Would be great with a soft cheese, like bleu, gorgonzola, etc.

Nothing to write home about. But wouldn't be hesitant to serve to others. Pretty straight forward Tuscan Red, that is good everyday wine, but certainly not exceptional.

Needed time to open and acquire smoothness. Give it about 2-3 hrs and you'll see those tannins lie down a bit! Nice wine.....
