  Fiddlehead Tasting Room. I preferred the basic Happy Canyon bottling, but this was also very good, though not as good a value.

  Almost confectionary on the nose, And on the palate too with its green apple aromas.

  I've read that SBs often smell like gooseberry. I'm not sure I could identify that smell. But I thought I'd experience it with this bottle, given its name. Alas, the name is spelled differently, so I expect it lacks that nose as well.
  
  Gratefully I can report that the "cat's pee" aroma often found in SBs (per Jancis Robinson) was hard for me to detect. I try to evoke some pleasant redolence when sipping wine, possibly explaining it.
  
  This is a nice, light SB with apples and citrus and just the right level of minerality.

  Lemon zest and spice on the the nose, with a little grass and apple. Apple and citrus on the palate, with some spice and grass, and a nice floral finish.

  Grapefruit, citrus and green apple on the nose and palate. Tart, crisp finish. Second glass faded quickly. Good, but not great.
