February 28, 2020 - Nose is tropical fruit along with lemon curd, petrol, mesquite.
Palate opens with pineapple, Asian pear, and Meyer lemon before delving into some stone fruit pits and apple seed bitterness that actually is quite appealing. Finish is medium long and creamy with baked lemon and rinds slowly fading. Also a faint oxidation note.
Overall, while quite delicious, the acidity is a bit weak and the wine feels slightly faded and tired. It may be at or just past peak. I would drink soon. -

February 9, 2019 - A very rich, tropical expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Velvet texture and mango/pineapple aromas and flavors. Long length of finish. Originally tasted in a blind tasting against a NZ and French SB. Hard to place but delicious.

August 11, 2016 - Excellent sauvignon blanc. Beautiful deep straw in color, lots of depth, and long clean finish. Honey, pears, and citrus, without unnecessary sweetness.
