Pale straw with stone and citrus fruit aromas with hints of honey sweetness. On the palate dry, with lively fruit, gooseberry, lime, melon and grapefruit flavors with subtle herb tones, vivid acidity, crisp and refreshing. Lingering smooth finish ending with a mineral tones. Nice value! Ready to drink now!

Drank 7/26/19. Tasting event. Tasting pour.

Nose of lemon peel, and a touch of grass. A bit bitter on the palate with grapefruit and lemon flavors. Bright acidity, medium finish.

4/21/6/3/3 +50 =87 pts.

Totally different than the S.B. in the past - with a touch of Semillon, and this year absolutely no Oak, all stainless - really brings everything into alignment with some great focus. Fruity. Crisp, and refreshing, with a bit of familiarity to loire valley.. but less tropical note, more stone fruit and citrus.

Nice floral nose with hints of honey. Primarily lime and other subtle citrus notes on the palate.

Very important to know about this vintage. For the first time they have decided to ditch the French Oak, and go all Stainless Steel! What an improvement. It's a whole new wine for Amici and it is delicious, focused, and fruity. Not that I won't miss that Bordeaux driven style but this is now more like Sancerre.
