Straw in color. Nose of grapefruit, cilantro, and chalk. Tastes of grapefruit, lemon peel, cilantro, and minerals. Lovely mouthfeel, with some oak exposure. Lovely wine that will drink well for several years.

Looks less green than in the bottle, a nice blonde color. Smells like clove and vanilla/coconut. The neutral oak is great, not overdone. Tastes of tart and citrusy grapefruits. Medium, pleasant, acidic finish. Mouth puckering goodness.

BTG at The Vault. Can't believe I'm calling a Rombauer wine 'crisp', but indeed this had plenty of acidity to boost the guava and white grapefruit notes. Surprising.

I've only tasted a couple of sauvignon blancs that really excited me and gave me pause for reflection. This 2017 version from Rombauer exhibited many of the "normal" characteristics that I've come to expect from Napa producers such as green apple, unripe pear, white peach, pineapple and muted grapefruit flavors. What caught my attention were secondary notes of lemon-lime and sea salt that traversed thru the profile from entry thru the medium length finish. The texture was clean, pure, fresh, balanced and engaging. I look forward to revisiting this wine in the near future.

Lively yellow color. Aromas of limes, grapefruit, white peach, on top of mint and honeysuckle. Plush and juicy texture, zesty acid throughout, flavors of peaches, grapefruit and lime. Notes of cucumber slices, white pepper, lilies, mix with deeper notes of whipped honey. Balanced, easy-going, summer-friendly wine, but it sports seriously complexity as well, and offers a lot for the price.

Smoother than many SB. Not as tart aftertaste. Citrus aroma, hint of orange/ grapefruit

My wife liked it and that’s the hardest judge on Sauv Blanc. Seemed bitter on opening.

Lacking acid, flavors are muddled. Notes of citrus pith and tennis ball
