Blend of 78% Sauvignon Blanc and 22% Sémillon, pale lemon with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with white floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach, pear and lemon citrus notes with good balance, crisp medium finish ending with fruit and stony mineral notes. Nice value!

Tropical but super fresh and juicy AF. Lean and elegant and a little saline—literally mouth-watering. Wonderfully textured.

Saturday night I opened the 2018 Cliff Lede Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. I over chilled the wine so I waited until it came back to a more reasonable temperature. Over chilling muted the aromatics. Once it was at the appropriate temperature the aromas came back very nice.
On the nose there were notes of white peach, Asian pear, bell pepper, jalapeño, tarragon, ginger, lemongrass, herbs and wet concrete.
On the palate the is grapefruit, lemon/lime, white peach, white flower, herbs and nice minerality.
This wine is light to medium bodied and the is a smooth oily mouthfeel with a medium + to high acidity that leads into a long citrus finish. Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers out there. Have a great day, stay safe and be healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Like a freshly opened pack of Fruit Stripe gum. If you like your Sauv Blanc fruity then this is your jam.

The label describes the wine as having “voluptuous body.” 😑

Soft and inviting - the nose carries mandarin orange, meyer lemon and ginger root. Herbaceous undertones - sweet basil and lavender. The 14% semillon adds a round, weighted texture while still maintaining the crisp, acidic backbone I like in my SB. I actually liked it more on day ✌🏽.

Lively and textured, featuring a more herbaceous and floral nose, ripe pear and crème brûlée palate, and a tropical and expansive finish.

On the palate a rich wine with melon flavors, lime zest and an underlying sweetness, crisp and refreshing with vivid acidity. The finish is balanced and its medium ending has some nutty mineral characteristics.
