Nice bouquet of herbal apple pineapple and pleasant initial sour apple and white tea mouthfeel but bitter mid palate and finish. Did I cellar this too long? I recall an earlier bottle 6 mos ago was much more enjoyable. Tasted again 12 hours later with much more bitterness. Drink these quickly. Second bottle tasted with somewhat less bitter mid/late palate. Bumped up the score to relfect what may have been a more porous cork in the earlier bottle. These seem to be at the end of their cellar life.

Having a hard time with the balance of this wine. It has the typical CA sauv blanc characteristics with the green, grassy nose and slight tropical fruit in the background, but the acidity, fruit and alcohol are just out of whack on the palate. It's still good, but definitely not what I would consider a prime example, especially at the price.

Very good Sauv Blanc, combination of lemongrass, elderflower, and some savory notes of asparagus, basil, and chive. The palate is precise and intense with citrus flesh and lime/cucumber water. Med+/High acidity.
Nice intensity and a ton of clarity — really really good.

Crisp, balanced and very clean on the finish. Star bright, no oak, and lemongrass and citrus.
