Paid $50.00 for this wine at a restaurant. The wine was definitely NOT worth the money. Even if you spend $15.00 in the store on this wine, you will be disappointed. There is absolutely NOTHING special about this wine. It is very thin (only 13% alcohol content), no nose, no finish, very simple taste. Did not get better after being open for a while. Did not get better with food either. Had MUCH BETTER Italian table wines! Should this really be sold as a "Super-Tuscan"???
Medium body, strong tannins, medium finish, not very smooth. Somewhat "thin". Not a sipping wine. Ok with food. Bought several bottles. Will be taking them to share with friends to make room in my wine cellar for better wine. ;-)

This wine has been one of my favorite Sauvignon Blancs for many years. But in my opinion the quality has been going down for a while now. Unfortunately the sparkle, the crispness and all the other "unique" stuff which set Duckhorn aside from other Sauvignon Blancs in now gone. It could easily pass for a $15.00 (or less) bottle of wine. Definitely not as good as previous vintages. Disappointed. And I bought the whole case. :-(
