  Corked. Not too bad, drank a glass but threw the rest away.

  Very pleasant and smooth. Not dry and not too sweet. Enjoyable.

  This is way sweeter than one would expect from Sauvignon Blanc, but it is quite enjoyable.

  Method: pop and pour; 59 degrees; white wine glass
  
  Look: pale straw; many very slow legs, high viscosity
  
  Nose: stone fruit/peach, mineral, sea shell, bit of fresh cut grass, little butter biscuit
  
  Palate: unripe stone fruit, lemon pith, grass; long finish sea shell, minerality, maybe hint of flint; dry; full- body, with a very smooth, slightly waxy mouthfeel; medium+ acidity; a slight touch of warmth on the finish (maybe from it being too warm)... after putting it back in the fridge, the warmth vanished, but the flavor was a bit less pronounced, so it didn't affect my overall score.
  
  Overall: I love the great, full body on this wine along with the nice balance. There's not a ton of complexity or depth in the flavor, but the minerally finish provides a nice contrast to the fruitier attack and midpalate. Very good wine, that's just short of being great (90+ points) due to a touch of warmth.

  The wine looks straw colored; the legs are slow and there is no sediment in the bottle.
  
  It smells like peach, dinner roll (yeast) & stone fruit with notes of floral but not super expressive.
  
  It tastes like a peach creamsicle, floral, slight yeast, lemongrass and citrus. The body is medium+. The wine has polished texture; medium acidity; and it has a medium lasting finish with notes of peach creamsicle.
  
  Overall this wine has a beautifully balanced mouthfeel and while it's not very complex or thought provoking and not incredibly expressive, it's still a very enjoyable and pleasant drink.
