May 21, 2023 - Way past its prime. Wine was stale and difficult to drink.
This label should be consumed within 2-3 years max from bottling.
August 2, 2022 - Ok, lukt av katteurin, smak av lett sitrus
February 12, 2021 - More lemony than tropical. Paired well with a chicken dish with Meyer lemons.
June 10, 2020 - Found one in the bottom of my cellar. Was worried as Sauvignon Blanc normally is best in the first few years after release. Not as good as when first released. Still aromatic with less grapefruit, more tropical/citrus. It showed less of the grapefruit and more tropical fruit flavors. The acidity has decreased significantly and isn't as bright of a wine as it used to be. Still good, but would be concerned holding too many more years.
April 23, 2020 - Have never held one of these for more than about a year or so. This was found in back of cellar and must say it surprised. Tart grapefruit acidity had mellowed and the tropical fruits shined. Very much enjoyed.
March 3, 2020 - A decent daily drinker. Some floral and grapefruit notes. Short on the finish but good with mild foods
July 17, 2019 - Recent Costco buy @ $10. Since I like to keep my average cost for wine to a bit under $40, and as you can see from my reviews I like my expensive wine, I have to be brutal in finding third party buys, auctions, store sales, and, alas, the occasional cheapo bottle of wine. PnP. Light nose of tart citrus. Grapefruit dominates on the palate with perhaps a bit of lychee, wet stones, and oyster shells backed by bracing acidity, which is what makes this wine work, IMO. Great as a summer sipper or with fish, salads and white meat chicken. This is what corporate winemaking should be: good quality, reliable from bottle to bottle and vintage to vintage and reasonably priced. It's no Peter Michael Apres Midi, but at 1/8 the price, it doesn't have to be. Drink sooner than later. Inaugural member of the cheapo wine hall of fame.
June 14, 2019 - Appears to be loosing some of it zest, more mineral less tropical character than previous bottles.
April 13, 2019 - Serve very cold and this is last yr to drink 2019
March 17, 2019 - Grapefruit juice with alcohol. Over rated. Though would be fine with light seafood or salads on a warm day. We think there is better SB available at this price point.
