Brig citrusy nose very reminiscent of NZ Sauv Blanc. Tons of grapefruit. Palate is more of a cross between Loire & Cali SB with hints of grass & minerality

No oak on this Sauv Blanc. Nice fruit and grassyness reminiscent of New Zealand

Lots of floral grapefruit, but not too much. A good example of new world SB that isn't excessive.

Don't usually like US sauv blanc; this is nice, not as tart as many, slightly sweet-easy drinking
