July 3, 2021 - No cat pee and no grapefruit domination! Two good omens when it comes to sauvignon blanc, at least for me. The aromas are all about ripe, white peach and gardenia with some citrus in the background. I’m thinking it’s more like lemon than grapefruit. The aromas follow through to the palate plus I get seashell / minerals and a pleasant bitterness on the finish. The finish is not quite as long as I would like but everything else about this wine is so good that I barely noticed. While the acid is high, it is well-integrated and not jagged or jarring.

May 18, 2020 - Citrus and grass over chalk finish. Not tart. Wonderful set against Spanish mackerel fillets with cardamom, cilantro, and pistachio salsa. Also great next day paired with Nigerian prawns marinated in garlic & lemon juice!
