Originally was going to give a lower rating since the tannins were very harsh and overpowering, even with red meat. But two days later it was beautiful! So (a) it needs a LOT of aeration if you're going to drink it now and (b) it could be very nice if stored a few years till the tannins mellow.

Very smooth tannins considering the high alcohol content (14.8%) and 18 months in oak. Smooth enough and well rounded to go with other dishes than just red meats, even salmon perhaps. Went out and bought more after the first tasting!

Drinkable and easygoing Sauvignon Blanc. Nothing to write home about but a good buy for the price for a basic SB.
