This is a big wine full of big contradictions. First of all, was not expecting a dark golden, almost orange hue. Had to look it up and was surprised by an SB with intense skin and malo aging. A pungent, sour nose. It’s not at all a turn off, the opposite really. At the front I get a brine, salt water character but that quickly turns into a giant sour apricot with a long lingering finish that transitions into unripe banana and spicy herbs. Medium to full body with loads of puckering acid. A unique and wildly different wine.

I loved this wine. Fun, wild, and unique - just like Abe. Its a Sauv Blanc like no other. Peach and apricot, in flavor and color. Bright and powerful at 6 years old. We strained and decanted. Perfect match to the cuisine at Faith & Flower (LA,CA,USA). Tuna tartar, risotto(s), jerk chicken. Mmmmm.

I dug the hell outta this. 30 day skin contact Sav Blanc. Side by side with the Czech wine. Had a bit more high toned fruit coming through and a bit sharper acid.
