Not all that bad for a Sauvignon Blanc that has been influenced by oak. There is a solid, structured spiciness that many would love, and might deserve a better score, but not for me. This wine is competent, clean and well made, but who needs oak on Sauvignon Blanc, and why don't they warn us? The color shows some oak. The nose is more ginger and spice than fruit. No grass at all. When it hits the palate, we have that familiar weedy acidity, then the oak starts to drown out the fresh fruit. There is a creaminess that also means malo lactic that is not distasteful. The finish a lot like Chardonnay.

Creamy sauvignon blanc with flavors of citrus and peach, medium acidity on the finish

Not very complex, smells sweet - would be better if served very chilled.
