OK, I was right to wait (OK so just 6 months), but it made difference. This wine is NOW at the drinking window...the citrus has settled down the flavors are still there, but (and I correct myself) drink in 2022-2023...I can't see this wine holding longer.

Compared to other California Sauv Blanc's this holds it own (not quite to the level of Lail) but very enjoyable - my question is why did I rush to open this...WAIT - at least two more years. The mild citrus (grapefruit) along with the mild acidity (and low brics) make this wine so enjoyable. But did I say WAIT?

when I compare this sauv blanc wit, say the Lail Georgia, this one comes in low. The taste of grapefruit and lime is a little too strong for me (I guess I prefer the French style). The aromas of grapefruit are also too strong. This one is definitely above Crocker & Starr and elevated above the Towmey. I have a few more bottles and will open over a longer period of time as that will assist in decreasing the citrus,
