At first strong minerality and lemon grass on the nose, after it opens more you find honey and grapefruit with a little pear . Nice straw color with grapefruit and lemon notes ending with honey and pear.

The wine has low acidity. It smells like lemon, grapefruit and apple. The wine finishes medium. It tastes like peach, lemon and pear. The wine looks straw colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. The wine has flabby texture.

Chilled on a warm spring day, this was all lemon up front:curd, merengue, verbena. After warming a touch, the minerality came though. With a little peppadew and goat cheese, the surprising sweetness mellowed and you got the more mineral notes. Clearly a very ripe Sav Blanc, really enjoyable on the deck in warm weather.

Red Burgs (Wayzata, MN): Pale straw color. Very small pour. Just had enough to get interested in this SB. A interesting blend of 85% sauvignon blanc, 11% sauvignon gris and 4% sauvignon musque, this was pretty nice. The nose is quite bright showing grapefruit, cat pee, lychee, lime, and herbs. The palate has citrus, gooseberry, mineral, cat pee, lime, and an herbal note, bright clean and lively.

The shocking thing is how much the Zalto white wine glass changed it. I mean, it was always big boy SB made in a style but in the Zalto white wine it was explosively mineral, shining and brilliant, like a really loud orchestra. Not sure that means its for everyone but it was certainly dramatic.

Ripe and exotic - apricot, peach, over ripe pear, toasty spices. I like it. I can understand why others think its overdone.

A touch of citrus, lemon and a bit of honey. Very nice for the price.

Fun stuff with minerals, floral, tropical fruit and subtle grass note. Have not had a US SB in a while and might have to revisit.

May be an off bottle. Not much acidity showing. Flat.

Very sweet, no hint of dryness. Good nose, but too sugary.

I think my drinking is bring on spring. Delicious, robust, powerful. Didn't even get chilled by the time Randy and I pounded it off.

Gives it all up on day two. Maybe I'll open the bottle 24 hours early next time.

Wow. Front and cellar nails it. Big texture, powerful aromas, massive structure and for all that, great drinking.
