2014. This held up great and was awesome. Kiwi, tropical fruit, guava, mango, little nuttiness, clean and precise. So good, well done Bradley!

16’ Grassini Sauvignon Blanc. Extraordinarily well balanced SB. Lemon zest, banana peel, apricot. The over abundance of acidity has subsided after six months. So drinkable with food or on it’s own. $28 dollars. Drinking at cellar temperature.

Crisp and vibrant. Great fruit set - tropical and citrus. Nice underlying minerality.

Great stuff. Citrus fruit, melon, hints of green notes and nice acid. Kicked butt with grilled prawns and octopus salad.

Lovely fresh Spring @Grassini Family Vineyards #sauvblanc with a citrus, fresh cut grass, hint of asparagus nose. Lemon-lime, green apple, & star fruit. Delicious, wished there was more! Paired with an Italian Pasta Freda.

Viscous with refreshing flavor, exotic, bits of grassy herbaceousness

Not the most complex wine, but super drinkable. I enjoyed this more than most Cali SB.

Light straw color in the glass. Floral and citrus notes on the nose. Definite minerality on the palette and finish. Refreshing!

Very light straw color in the glass. Tropical aromas on the nose with a light palette. Lingering finish.
