  May 10, 2021 - Tasted blind. The nose had tropical fruit, citrus, orange, a honeyed note, and lemon zest notes. Lots of acidity with a good amount of pure fruit, candied lemon, and pineapple on the palate. Well balanced and complex. Long finish. I quite liked this, probably the best CA Sauvignon Blanc I've had. After a few hours in the glass, the acidity was almost too much, so this note is based on my impression of the ~30 min of tasting.

  May 10, 2015 - Italians, Bordeaux and a few more with friends (An upscale Italian Restaurant in Cleveland): A very interesting take on Sauvignon Blanc. Light golden in color. The nose has melons, peaches, and minerals. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has a nice complexity. It also has a surprisingly round texture. I assume this sees oak, but nothing showing except this creaminess which is very nice. Good acidity that worked well with food. Also some peach and melon notes on the palate. Lovely wine that, while I am sure has lost fruit, has morphed into something different and seems to have time left.

  March 2, 2014 - A small amount of oak accents this plush SB that oozes class and length. The elegance in this SB definitely marks it as a wine to be savored over a while as it opens up.

  February 25, 2014 - Expressive nose of fennel, greenery, petrol. Light bodied, refreshing. Decent zest. Nothing special, but pleasant. 85-86
