June 10, 2020 - A bit of sediment in the bottle and a hint cloudy with a bright greenish golden yellow. Layered nose with tons of tropical and white stone fruits. Moderate acidity (7/10) and a medium body. Lovey palate with melon, pineapple, citrus and green apples. A bit of white minerality too. Long finish. Drink till 2022.
July 8, 2019 - Tasted it after the 2018 and it seemed really flat. Really lacked the brightness of the 2018 and just seemed BLA. Ended up dumping it.
June 1, 2019 - The missus thought it was awesome. Repeated multiple times. I rarely drink whites so can't really comment.
April 11, 2019 - The missus went out of her way to comment on how good the wine was. Not sure she knew the $ was above most of her white wines.
June 23, 2018 - Don't feel this has a lot of life left. Grapefruit, fruit cup, pear, lichee, lemon cream, nice balance, medium+ acidity with the tannins all but gone.
April 30, 2018 - Great as always, big Bevan style
April 28, 2018 - Wow, a really BIG Sauvignon Blanc! Still cloudy because of no filtering, but a huge wine of grapefruit, melon, even oak. How do you make a SB that merits a 95 score? Yikes, love this one!
April 2, 2018 - Just like an idiot, I put this in the freezer for some guests and forgot about it! Exploded all over the freezer.
March 18, 2018 - Very big sauvignon blanc- medium to full bodied - this probably could even age a few years.. Grapefruit, kiwi, peach. Nice explosion of fruit. Well integrated.
January 29, 2018 - Drinks better warmer, showing more exotic aromas. The complexity in this vintage seems to be a step up from the 2013.
Consumed in Maui.
Me - 93, Wife - 94/95
