The 2006 J Rochioli SB Estate was luscious and elegant. Still drinking fine in 2011. Color was light straw. Nose of fresh grass, minerals & lime. Refreshing. crisp and a beautiful long finish

Steely yellow. Lime, lemon, fennel fronds mineral and just enough grass to point me towards SB. Nothing in the nose or the finish made me think anything but France. Nice lemon grapefruit flavours and a ton of refreshing acid in the finish. As good as the best Sancerres.

Bill's Monthly Lunch - July 2010 (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind - light straw in colour with a slight green tinge. Notes of lemon and lime with some melon and a hint of oak. Light on its feet with a ton of acid and very dry. Good length. Very crisp, clean and refreshing. Medium length. Most of us had guessed this to be french. Drinking very well. Excellent.

Lemon, vanilla and some grassy flavors. Long finish. Stone fruit aromas. Still holding up nicely.
