Not a lot of acidity or backbone on this one. More minerality and earth tones with a soft but mouth coating finish. Overall it is a solid sauv blanc but not in my personal style.

Not as good as I remembered. The one thing about this wine is that it is definitely layered and full bodied. Very spicy. The wine, immediately upon pop and pour, was elegant. Poured a light yellow color in the glass with a nice glycerine characteristic with swirling. The entry was a tiny bit acidic. The palate was consistent with lemon on the entry, with a hint of apricot and sometimes some honeydew. The finish was citrus and almost downright lime-like in flavor. Sour apple is definitely noted but not as crisp. Soft, quite a full bodied sauv blanc on the finish. The QPR on a whole isn't really that good. Nice minerality, good body. Great acidity. Flavors could have been a bit more abundant than they were.

Very good wine but does not quite match O'Shaughnessy's 2010 Sauvignon blanc. On the nose notes of apricots and honeysuckle with tastes of citrus, tart apple and a mineraly honey finish. Another great wine coming from this winery.

Lovely aromatics with layers of citrus and pit fruit. Nice acids frame this full bodied SB.
