October 13, 2016 - Golden straw colored, medium bodied, nicely balanced acidity with amazing aromas and flavors of peach predominate with tones of citrus, hints of passion fruit and mango on a tangy moderate finish.

September 5, 2012 - Not a huge fan of SBs, but this was quite nice. Smoother and creamier than you typically find, and I agree that it didn't have a strong grapefruit taste. Citrus is there except it's in the background, bracing this fruitier wine. Also, very little of that "unique" SB bouquet. If I didn't know better, I would speculate there might be some vigonier blended in. Nice. I think this wine will actually work with a broader range of food than many SBs. And sips well.

June 15, 2012 - Still one of the best Sauvignon blancs you will find. Notes of tropical fruit, honeysuckle, green grass, & citrus. Nice creaminess on the mouthfeel & good acidity. Getting none of the grapefruit that is typical of Sauvignon Blanc that others are experiencing here. None.
