Ooh, divine! I've been on the lemon verbena recently and definitely got that here, as well as some other citrusy things and some decent minerality. A really surprisingly good SB and actually not *too* alcoholic - the most balanced SB I've had from California so far. There's some decent weight here - I'm not sure the 5% Semillon has that much influence but it can't hurt! Probably available for $30 and a stonking wine. Almost bought a bottle, which says a lot. Very highly recommended.

Constellation and SWS Cabernet Dinner (Gibson's Steakhouse - Chicago): Excellent way to start off the evening. Ripe apples, green fruit - incredible body. Striking minerality with some light nutty notes. Really nice acidity. Balanced finish. Great wine with a tart but enjoyable finish.
