August 10, 2022 - Pale straw color. Nice nose of lychee and lemon rind. Weak lemon/lime and lowish acid. I think it has lost a fair amount of its original freshness.

March 3, 2021 - A bit of a sad wine. Lacking the sharp crispness of good SB, similar flavours but generally dull.

June 5, 2020 - A great sauvignon blanc, crisp with excellent minerality and stone fruit, with just a hint of grapefruit.

May 29, 2020 - This was drinking great. More weight than a Loire SB but still nice crispness; not grassy like NZ more grapefruit driven with stone fruit. Really enjoyed this.
