From David - Aromas of crushed rocks dissolved in black and red fruits give way to
flavors of crisp blackberry, hints of violet, and intimations of coffee.
The finish is velvety, with a very Rhone-like sprinkle of pepper and
roses. If you are a fan spicy, fruit driven Syrahs in the Central Coasts
“Sideways” style, this is a must.

a little zest, some fruit, might be good a hot summer day. Not as quite put together as most sauvignon blancs that I prefer.
