Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 4, 2007 - Color: hint of greenness in an otherwise pale straw wine. On the nose: lemon zest, citrus, and some grass, mineral, and a whiff of ammonia but not the classic (and desirable) 'cat pee' of NZ Sauv Blancs. Still, for a napa sauv blanc this ain't bad. On the palate, drinking at cellar temp 55F, bright, if not bracing acidity brings flavors of grapefruit and other citrus/lemony notes. Some grass, but there is a hint of oak (not heavy at all) that balances the herbaceousness. On the mouthfeel, it's medium with a bit of a creamy feel on the finish. However, I can't determine if this wine saw full malo or not, since the creamy texture is not 'full'. Some of the minerality returns on the finish.
