  This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc from Oak Knoll District in Napa valley.
  
  Dry on the palate with medium plus acidity.
  
  Showing citrus, lemons, apples, pears, light earth, limes, light grapefruits, minerals, herbs and spices.
  
  Tangy long finish with limes and grapefruits.
  
  Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
  
  This 4 year old is nicely balanced with nice complexity at this point.
  
  Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
  
  14.2% alcohol by volume.
  
  92 points.

  Light yellow in color with a golden hue.
  
  Strong nose of citrus, green apples, grapefruits, gooseberry, light spices, grass and light earth.
  
  Medium bodied with medium acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with green and red apples, citrus, lemons, spices, gooseberries, vegetables, light earth and herbs.
  
  Tangy finish with limes and grapefruits.
  
  This 5-year-old Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley is still drinking very nicely, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
  
  Showing more earth notes than I expected, but after all it is 5-year-old.
  
  Peaking now, and really tasty and interesting. Good by itself or with food.
  
  I had it 3 years ago, and it is drinking better now. Soft and smooth. Crisp and refreshing. Just delicious.

  $25.

  Pronounced nose of citrus, apples, spices, melons, grapefruits and white pepper.
  
  Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, green apples, guava, spices, light herbs and black pepper.
  
  Nice finish with spices.
  
  This is a very enjoyable Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley.
  
  Fruit forward and tangy with nice balance. Bright and refreshing. A nice, good quality, new world Sauvignon Blanc.
  
  A good food wine, and good by itself as a sipping wine by the porch or pool.
