Hazy (unfined and unfiltered) pale straw. Subtle but present nose of lime rind and menthol grass. Palate echoes the nose with… fresh linen? Bright but not overwhelming acidity throughout. Actually round in the mouth for a SB. Finish is lingering though not necessarily “long.” The epitome (for me anyway) of California Sauvignon Blanc. I’m ruins for everything else. Enjoying with Chinese-American fare, but should match most spring, summer, or even early autumn meals. Drink now through 2023, *if* you can keep your hands off of it that long!

Unfined & unfiltered, cloudy appearance. Aromatics exhibit citrus, specifically dried lemon rind. Nice acidity on the palate. Finish is super long for an SB. Very nice. I like this style.

Nice full bodied SB, more of a smooth and silky mouthfeel vs. the typical crisp SB. $37 at OWC.
