Had another ‘18 in cellar. Pale lemon-lime with fragrant aromas of tropical and citrus fruit and hints of yeasty spice. On the palate flavors of peach, mango, lemon zest, and apple, with the subtle earthy mineral tones. The wine has lively acidity on a medium finish ending with fruit and yeasty tones, slight rich oxidation character.

Crisp and fresh, straight forward Sauvignon Blanc. Paired well with a lunch of Ahi tuna sashimi.

Pale lemon-lime with fragrant aromas of tropical and citrus fruit and hints of garden spice. The palate shows fresh fruit flavors of peach, mango, lemon zest, and crisp green apple, with the subtle earthy mineral tones. The wine has lively acidity on a medium+ length finish ending refreshing with clean fruit tones. Very Nice! Tasting Sample.

On a warm summer day I thought I would grab a nice SB. Consistent quality, can't say enough about that. Straw yellow with tropical & citrus aromas and herb scents. On the palate ripe peach and melon flavors, some lime zest and an underlying sweetness, crisp and refreshing with natural acidity. Balanced, medium finish ending with mineral characteristics. Nice.

A bit flabby, but hey, it is Napa. Really quite pleasant and well priced for a Napa wine.

Pale greenish yellow with aromas of passion fruit, Granny Smith apples and honeysuckle. Bright, lively and fresh on the palate with bright white peach, apricot, lemon, pineapple and more passion fruit. The medium finish is punctuated with a seltzer like minerality.
