Kim Crawford has been a solid wine in the past and this 2006 is no exception. Thanksgiving was the perfect time to open the double-magnum bottle. Poured almost like a Trockenbeerauslese but otherwise tastes like a typical Kim Crawford SB: Citrus aromas, lemon grass and tropical fruit flavors, crisp acidity and very subtle residual sugar; nicely balanced. This wine started out at refrigerator temperature but it tastes best in the 60's F range.

A bit of age on this very popular (rightly so) SB produces some softer corners; grapefruit and grass on the nose, citrus and some more tropical flavors on the palate, a nice mouthfeel, smooth texture. Eminently decent.
