July 14, 2021 - Light gold in color. Nose of lemon, hay, honeysuckle, and pear. Second nose is metallic, lemon, and pear. Sweet for a Sauvignon blanc. Light and lingering.

May 21, 2015 - Crisp. A little tart. Green apple and pear. Perhaps a little citrus or maybe even pineapple. Very enjoyable.

November 6, 2014 - Not bad. But not great. A little too aromatic. The aromatics take over the wine causing it to taste a little unbalanced.
