  Tasted this originally with Laura Diaz -Munoz in Nape about 3-4 years back and kept a bottle to see what will happen. This is a high energy focused SB with strong upper register zingy disposition, yet there is a softness that works it's way into the mid palate that makes it work well with spicy Asian style dishes. A SB that can be enjoyed by Sancerrre lovers. Sampled over several days on gas and it held out very well. Nice effort here & obviously well made, but a bit pricey- then again Napa is not generally my go to region for SB

  An interesting and nuanced Sauvignon Blanc. While it does have a lot of acidity from the start through to the medium length finish, it also has some captivating fruit flavors. There is a large amount of grapefruit with nuanced lemon rind with a touch of mango on the finish. The finish is medium length with lingering flavors of that mango fruit. I got better as I drank through the bottle but it's initial impressions were mediocre

  Medium plus nose shows clean citrus, lemon zest, grapefruit, stony mineral note, white peach, tropical flowers. Palate very expressive without being TOO Sauv Blanc, if that makes sense, nice layers of citrus expression, tropical notes again like kiwi, white mango, clean presentation throughout, medium plus acidity, medium finish. Very nice example of CA and good QPR.
