Straw colored. 14.3% ABV. Charming nose of citrus fruits, fresh cut grass and flowers. Medium body with killer acidity. Crisp and incredibly refreshing. Lemon oil, green apple, pears and minerals on the palate. The finish is long and tangy. Just perfect on a muggy Summer night in Seattle. Best over the next several years.

Have a head cold so aromatics aren't clear. Light greenish gold. Spicy nose with citrus and some tropical notes. Bright on the palate with bracing acidity but also depth and some viscosity. These are always interesting and represent probably the oldest SB vines in Sonoma (1959).

Rich for a Sauv Blanc since it is lightly oaked. Needs about an hour to really open up and let the fruit and richness catch up with each other. Very "citrusy" when first opened. Still fruity with notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Acidity remains firm and leaves you wanting to take another sip. Another fantastic Sauvignon Blanc from the Rochioli Vineyard.
