  December 2, 2019 - Tons of apple. Quick finish. Not a bad wine. But not great. High acid.

  July 28, 2014 - This was my first experience with the Mayacamas Sauvignon Blanc. It is quite an unusual take on the varietal, with a lot of density and strong, almost overpowering, flavors. Green cooking apples, petrol, salted butter, almost oxidative tasting but not quite. I wouldn't have guess Sauvignon Blanc if I'd tasted it blind.
  
  I feel like it might have seen some old oak -- it wasn't woody or creamy tasting, but it seemed to have more weight and a darker color than a steel version. That is just my speculation, though.
  
  This reminded me somewhat of the Bedrock Kick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc, or of a young Bordeaux Blanc like Château Carbonnieux Blanc. I didn't especially enjoy it this time around (and my wife hated it), but it strikes me as a wine that would improve over the next few years. It's possible that I'm just believing that because of Mayacamas's label and reputation, but I think I'm going to hold my other four bottles for at least a year before trying the next one.

  July 20, 2014 - Decent, but not good enough to justify its over $20 price tag. Can find a lot of better California SBs for less.

  February 11, 2014 - (A-) Really nice wine. Crisp, refreshing. Full of ripe tropical fruit without being syrupy.
