Straw colored. 14.5% ABV. Brilliant nose of citrus, pear, green apple and freshly mowed grass. Refreshing and bright with racy acidity. Honey, grapefruit, apple and minerals on the palate. The finish is long, crisp and tangy. Year in and year out this is one of the very best Sauvignon Blancs from California. Drink this particular vintage soon.

Fresh, long lived, and so tasty for a five year old Sauvignon Blanc. Started off a little funky but it quickly shifted to aromas of lemons, white tree fruit, and some green bean complexity. Very exotic on the palate, with a crisp, quince-like texture, and a myriad of concentrated citrus flavors that leave behind a tingly, kumquat sensation that is simply delightful. Totally exceeded my expecations.

Served blind. An initially shy and funky nose quickly blows off/opens up with very typical gooseberry, grassy and grapefruit notes. Palate has round and sweet fruit with nice tart acid providing balance. Has some wood spice notes in the finish which add interest and flavor. Clearly new world. A solid, polished SB.

Such a lovely Sav. Blanc - perfectly crisp, and totally refreshing. No point in waiting - I'm going to drink the rest of my bottles over the coming few weeks!

Hints of citrus and tropical notes that paired beautifully with chilled seafood salad
