Crisp and clean, bright clear yellow with slight green tint; grapefruit and lime aromas, some fresh grass and herb on scent, mild flavors and decent finish.

pale yellow/green...vibrant nose of grassy white grapefruit followed by a floral notes and wet stones with a hint of oak...round and tropical on entry with bright acidity that creeps up from behind to produce a refreshing finish...solid new world effort

Interesting departure from the average Napa suav blanc. Cut green grass, quince and creamy, tropical fruit on the nose and palate. Zingy tang on the finish. Good on it's own, better with food.

One of my "go to" Sav Blancs every year - very consistent. Big fan of the musque clone for its roundness and tropical fruit. This version has great lemon peel and citrus. Very rich texture. Solid wine

Full texture and creamy for a Sauvignon Blanc with a little honeyed nut overlay to the usual grassy and citrus flavors. Went exceptionally well with my wife's shrimp scampi. We both loved it.

"Ring in the Holiday Season" Dinner Party (La Jolla, California): Tasted from magnum, this straw-colored white offers intense aromas of nectarines, kiwi, chervil and lime zest. Light-to-medium-bodied, freshly acidic and seamlessly alcoholic (14.4%), it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and stays solid in the middle. This is top-flight Sauvignon Blanc with a beautiful fruit/herb balance. Drink now-2016.

Color of two day old hay, mostly straw with slight tinges of what used to be green. Made in a creamy elegant style showing softer fruits and more restrained acidity that many. Well balanced and refined.

Napa Valley Wine and Food Excursion 2013; 9/30/2013-10/5/2013 (Napa Valley, California): Expressive from the get-go, this straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc has an intense nose of quince, nectarines, kiwi and citrus peel. Light-to-medium-bodied, fresh and with seamless alcohol, it delivers flavors similar to the nose. Juicy throughout the middle, it concludes long and crisp. Varietally true and very delicious, this is a standout worth the search. Drink now-2016.

Similar to a merry Edwards sauvigon blanc, but less oak. Good balance of minerals and stone fruits.
