Some residual sugar, but nicely balanced.

Pleasant Sauvignon Blanc from Valle de Guadalupe. Crisp and good pairing with our seafood.

Mexican vino, straight from Costco in Cabo San Lucas. Like a sub-par Cotes du Gascogne. Not bad but not good. Minimal complexity.

Had the 2022 in January of 2024 with chicken tinga. What a nice little wine. Minerality and a touch of citrus with some floral on the nose. Hints of lime on the tongue and a hint of hibiscus on the nose. This was a lot like a New Zealand sauv blanc but with a softer punch. Enjoyed this and wondering about going through the hassle of obtaining this one again. Definitely would if it was easier to get.
