Creamy, smooth and delicious. Reminds me of the Merry Edwards but more reasonably priced and I prefer it. Similar weight and texture but rounder and smoother. Consider it one of my better purchases in 2015.

"Ring in the Holiday Season" Dinner Party (La Jolla, California): With aromas and flavors of stone fruits, kiwi, melon and quince, this light yellow, light-bodied wine is enjoyable from start to finish. Although a bit more round than its 2012 brethren, it is still quite fresh and also manages to nicely integrate its alcohol (listed as 14.4%). Crisp and solid in the middle, it closes with a lengthy finish. This is yet another impressive showing for Crocker & Starr. Drink now-2017.

This straw/green wine offers a redolent nose and flavors of citrus, tropical fruits, wild flowers and (more subtle) mountain herbs. Light to medium-bodied, the wine has a complex attack, an unforgettable, creamy mid-palate and a crisp, mineral-driven finish. The label reads 14.4% alcohol, but there’s no discernible heat. It’s pedestrian in tasting circles to use the word “love,” but I love this complex, delicious and unforgettable wine. Sadly, at nearly $40 per bottle, this Sauvignon Blanc has a so-so QPR.

Flawed. pulled from the temp controlled cellar only to find the fake cork on this one was protruding out against the foil by about a quarter inch.
