September 28, 2018 - Too tart. Astringent when opened. Mellowed after an hour, but not what I thought I was buying.

April 21, 2018 - Very grassy, classic aeromatic tropical smells, pretty good but probably not my favorite flavors

March 7, 2018 - Classic modern sauvignon blanc nose: racy minerality, lemon-lime, cantaloupe, white smoke, white pepper and just a hint of mint. The body strikes a crisp and lean profile, with nice acid and some grit offering a nice texture. Flavors touch on bitter lemon, apricot, white peach, buttered white bread toast and gravel.
