Nice SB, reminds me of excellent wines from NZ. Light, lemony, with presence of exotic fruits, like kiwifruit and lychee. Palate is similar, lots of good acidity, fresh and good med- finish. I liked it.

PnP chilled. Clear, light straw color. Usual SB nose. This is way to "vegie" for me. Grass, showed an unpleasant sharp/bitterness and what I dislike about this grape with some producers. The worst of the old NZ traits although it softened some with time and after warmed up. Still, not my style at all although nothing technically wrong. $15

Pale yellow/green in color, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc (80% fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks with the balance aged in neutral French oak and new acacia wood) is very well-crafted. Bright citrus, melon and tropical fruit are balanced by lemongrass and hay. Light-bodied, freshly acidic and with well-integrated alcohol (13.5%), it stays solid on the mid-palate and closes with a crisp, lengthy finish. Enjoy this one with sushi! Drink now-2019.

Working my way through this vineyard. The Zinfandel is an excellent value wine from Quivira. I was a bit underwhelmed by this effort. It is not disappointing, but I have difficulty determining any strengths over any other vineyards effort at an average $10 sauv blanc.
Paired with Chicken/cream sauce dish.
