Medium greenish yellow. Rich nose with spices, stone fruits and candies apples. Medium acidity (5.5/10) and medium minus body. Similar palate with white fruits and a little spices. Medium finish. Drink now.

Lazy Wednesday afternoon at Kallang ES. Tasted blind. Cork closure. Appearance is clear, pale inmtensioty, lemon yellow colour with slight tinges of green. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with lovely aromas of extoic yellow fruits, honey melons, honey blossom flowers, lemon peel, slight grassy herbs. Developing. On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (!4.1%), full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of creamy salted butter, honey rock melon, passion-fruit, ripe apricots, pineapple, citrus lemon peel, salty saline minerality. Long finish. Very good quality. I was guessing Old World wine actually, and I was thinking maybe a ripe Friuli white blend à la Jermann. Thought it was a Sauvignon Blanc blended with oaked Chardonnay. Drinking well already now on pop and pour. Should improve over the next 2-3 years as it develops and the balanced oak integrates more. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe style but not over-ripe, well done.

Second time trying this bottling and it has gained some nice complexity with the additional bottle age. A light greenish pale yellow. Love the layers on the nose with tons of tropical and citrus fruits. Even undertones of white floral notes. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and full bodied with a texture almost of tannins. Bright and vibrant with tons of fruits, especially citrus and stone fruits. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2020.

Larger scaled SB that maintains some balance. Really delicious, but full throated cali style.

Napa Visit with wine makers and owners; 2/3/2017-2/8/2017 (Napa, CA): Light fruity tropical nose.
Fruity palate which dries to a light fruit finish and light classic acidity comes through.
