This Sauvignon is tinted a very light gold, almost clear. The nose gives aromas more common to New World Sauvignon Blancs - grass, herbs, salinity. The grassiness is not, however, on par with, say, a New Zealand SB. It’s a little more restrained than that. On the palate, citrus minerality is the rule, with an extremely fresh acidity. The lemon-lime flavor comes back on the lengthy finish. Fish is a great pairing for this wine, something along the lines of a tuna salad or nicoise would be ideal.

Lemon, strong chives, chervil notes at first. Later passion fruit and guava crept in.

The winner of Concour Mondial de Sauvignon. Tropical and fruity (peach) at nose, fresh with scents of kiwi in mouth

Drinking in 2023. Acidity still very present but has mellowed beautifully. Nose has developed sweet grass and myer lemon notes. Mineral throughout and on the finish that lasts and lasts.

Clean, complex, somewhat grassy Sauvignon Blanc, this is really terrific SB, medium-long finish.
