Consistent with prior tasting notes - Crisp, citrus and a grassy herbal character on the nose. Followed by the same on the palate. Well-balanced, juicy. Probably wouldn't buy again b/c at this price point I've had better...
Nice peachy nose, with a tad of grapefruit, as noted by another reviewing member, coming across somewhat Riesling-like! This wine caught me by surprise, and in a pleasant way. Best when chilled (acidity comes through better), but still maintains good character and balance at warmer temps. I picked this up on sale, wish I had bought more than one bottle! Stag's Leap Cellars has another winner!

London Wine Fair (London): Meh! Shy nose - fairly generic nose and palate. A touch of richness (oak?) on the back of the palate. Poor to average at best. Needs more zip.

Crisp and grassy, but not overpowering citrus. Well-balanced and juicy.

Grapefruit and peaches. Crisp yet tropical, very atypical for Napa. 6 months in french oak.

Terrible value. Bitter with no acidity and obvious alcohol. Overpriced. Did not like.

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Tasting (Zupan's Burnside Market Wine Cellar, Portland, OR): Melon, pineapple and a touch of citrus. Very crisp with nice acidity. Refreshingly dry. A blend of 69% Sauvignon Blanc, 26% Sauvignon Musque, and 5% Semillon, aged 5.5 months in 4-5x used French oak.
