Just as good as the 2013. Honeydew, white peach and a touch of varietal grassiness. Smooth and full. Juicy acidity and some sweetness on the finish. Good on its own but also pairs well with a wide range of food. A superb wine and our favorite domestic SB these days by some margin.

Crocker & Starr has (yet again) crafted a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc that is worthy of its accolades. Stone fruit, melon, kiwi and mineral elements cohesively define both the nose and palate. Light-bodied, fresh and with no sign of alcoholic heat (despite being labeled as 14.4%), it stays solid in the middle and closes with a medium-to-long, crisp finish. Bravo to this producer for such consistency. Drink now-2018.

Tropical and melon fruits with green pepper and herbal notes. Nice, but kind of a sharp, tough finish to rate any higher.

Not as good as i remember. This needs food. Maybe just not my day. Today it lacks some crispness.
