Another scorching day, another record temperature falls. Still too hot to go red and I wanted to rock a nice Cabernet. Well...not yet. A little Sauvignon Blanc to battle the heat. And, a warm up to next weeks JP party. On the nose; jasmine, green apple, lemon, lime, pineapple, honey notes, bees wax, soft volcanic minerals and yellow florals. The fruits on the palate are not as pronounced as they are on the nose. Peach, green apple, lemon, lime, pineapple, honey notes, bees wax, soft volcanic minerals, oily body, round acidity & finish with yellow florals. @ no chips & salsa πŸ’ƒ @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher

Interesting, delicious, special. Pineapple sauvignon flavours with creamy undertones of vanilla and a finishing hint of lavender. Oily feel, oak aging has given body but no nasty bite.
