Fantastic p/q. Strawberry and sweet cherry character. Sweet entry with depth and complexity. Just enough acid to provide interest and grip. Super drinkable.. — 7 years ago
Serious with weight, complexity, and power. Very reductive funky nose. The palate attack starts with high acid and citrus/mandarin, then moves into an incredible mid palate - round, creamy, with pure citrus and peach fruit giving vibrancy. Long, balanced, and multi-layered. Top 3 of all time with Daguenau, and Cotat. Expensive for a NZ S/B but incredible value given the quality. — 3 months ago
A blend of Cab Sauv. Tempranillo and Durif give an abundance of red fruits with an intense velvety notes and taste. Persistent notes of baked black cherry and raspberry pie. Powerful and luscious, Some leather and cacao flavors are mostly by the back-end of the palate. Lingering finish. — 2 years ago
Worth trying? $40 at tasting room

Very very nice!
Not too sweet but deep flavour as if it had been left over for a day or 2! — 6 years ago
A nose of stewed plum, hazelnut skin (Always for me in ages wines), and some slight tabac.
A hefty wine, thin in the middle, yet flavor fully wrapped around that one blank spot. Black cherry, herbs du Provence, slab apricot acidity, and smoked wood chips.
An excellent wine.

Burgundian in weight. Red fruit and 5 spice dominate. Light bodied but not without flavour or complexity. A bit thin for my liking but still pure and v@well made. — 5 years ago
This was outstanding. Excellent value. Contender for best sb I’ve tastes along with Jolivet and Blank Canvas. So well balanced. Flinty, mineral character perfectly balanced with peach and kiwi fruit. Zippy zesty lemon giving spine. With Racquel in HK — 7 years ago

Dark gold in color.
Pretty nose of flowers, apples, pears, light earth, light herbs and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with citrus, green and red apples, limes, grapefruits, herbs, spices, earth and light vegetables.
Tangy finish with grapefruits and limes.
This 9 year old Sauvignon Blanc from Russian River Valley is still drinking very nicely, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
It is interesting to taste an older Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma. Feels more like a California Unoaked Chardonnay blend with Chenin Blanc and Viognier.
The high alcohol is well integrated by now. Good right out of the bottle, and better when properly chilled.
15.4% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
