Almost earthy mineral funk to the nose, but in a really good way. Full bore and rich on the palate. Long gutsy almost painfully mineral finish. Doesn't really taste like Sauvignon to me. More like Fruili terroir.

A clear step down from the previous two bottles we had of this. Lacking in fruit, plain and simple. Perhaps we waited a bit too long, but I was surprised, given the producer, that this did not show better. Still, Very Good. thedrunkencyclist.com

Great nose of lemon zest and a bit of heat. The palate is immediately coated with a viscosity of lemon curd and buoyed by impressive acidity. I am not a huge fan of Sauvignon Blanc, but this is a mighty impressive wine. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

My last note rings true, even a year and a half later. There is a little nuttiness on the finish this time around, though, but it melds right in. Nice wine. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com
