  Maybe a bit too much for my tastes. It paled to some other bottles on the table. Rich, honey and tropical fruit a tad hot on the finish. Full-fruited, and heavier on the palate. I can see its appeal. It just wasn't great for me.

  This is a solid and interesting wine. Not your typical Sauvignon Blanc. Opposite end of the spectrum from the high acid, grapefruit and hay type SBs. This has some serious weight. Honey, touch of tropical fruit, sweet and tart finish. While this may not be for everyone, this is a classy Scholium wine that is more than just a passing fancy or conversation piece.

  Full 24K gold. Nose of ripe tropical fruit, peach and apricot, no scent of alcohol. The palate mirrors the nose, full-bodied but not thick-textured, clean and with just a touch of heat, very long finish, a little dessert-y. This wine is a showcase of totally ripe but not overwrought SB. I enjoyed this more as an aperitif than with food.

  As with many Scholium whites I am torn between absolutely loving it and thinking it's a little odd. A rich SB with apple pie, absinthe and chamomile. Super low production. An interesting wine for sure.

  Bottle #2. Popped and poured with a dinner of grilled wild caught sockeye salmon, potato latkes and broccoli sauteed with new garlic. This is an outstanding wine. It does not have the light guava flavor of many sauvignon blancs. Instead, there is a depth of flavor that fills the entire mouth; almost meaty. Dry honey and tart apple with a bit of citrus. Finish is tart.
