October 21, 2021 - Another year on and another leap in quality. Pretty nose of melon cut with lemon zest. Gorgeous fruit. Great minerality. lemon zest, apricots. Is that a hint of anise? Beautiful subtle acidity, great balance. Finishes long, long, long with apricots, lemons and minerals. The minerality in this wine coats your palate. Excellent and complex.

October 22, 2020 - This has improved nicely since my last bottle 18 months ago. Not typical Sauvignon Blanc at all. Precise, light, lemony nose. Palate shows lots of minerality, stone fruits and some lemon notes. A bit of pepper on the mid-palate. No grassiness at all. Crisp acidity and great balance. Becomes more expressive at it sits in the glass. Finishes moderately long with lemon and minerals. Very nice with a continued upside. I'll be intrigued to see how this continues to develop.

October 12, 2020 - This is a softer and rounder style with less citric acidity and bite than a typical SB. No grassy tones. Not sure I’d identify this as an SB blinded. 13% abv.
