Our last bottle pours a light youthful straw yellow color. Notes of grapefruit, grass, jalapeno and even has some feline elements as well. Definitely doesn't smell like a CA sauv blanc. Flavors of melon, lemongrass and grapefruit with good supporting acidity. Excellent.

4th Saturday Group: Global Cabernet Sauvignon (Our house): Light color. Grassy, bordering on jalapeno, along with a citrusy melon quality. Nice fruit on the palate, with plenty of acidity. A couple of guesses of albarino, others sauv blanc; well-received by the group.

Second Sunday Group: 2002 Napa Cabernets (Our house): Notes of citrus and grass on the nose and palate. Easy to pick out as Sauv Blanc. The acidity is present, but not aggressive, and there's a richness to the fruit. Finishes well.

A great surprise at dinner last nigh. At 12 years old it has shown great finesse. Lots of pineapple and vanilla.
Delicious!

Grapefruit and citrus tones. Slgithly creamy; softened acidity. Mature, but not yet in decline. Now-2022.

Grassy notes with lovely citrus qualities underneath. Good acid and fruit on the palate with a lengthy finish. Excellent.
