This different Sauvignon Blanc shows pale straw; aromas are melon - honeydew and hints of cantaloupe. Apricot and a little sourdough. Palate: nice acid; a unique blend of that melon and apricot, but something more - cream and dried, candied pineapple. Really like it. A lot of complexity and not like most SBs.

A beautiful CA Sauvignon Blanc. So different from the NZ treatment of the grape: no citrus, but lots of fruit, especially melon. Not easy to pay $40 versus $17, yet in this case well worth it. What a lunch treat!

Early tasting notes. Just opened, will need to evolve. Beautiful nose! Pizza dough, lemon meringue, rose petal, pineapple. Nice mouth feel. some beautiful waxiness.

Wow, what an SB! Yes, pricey... but worth it. Among the best SBs I've ever had, back to the 2005 Rochioli. Buy some.
