Very slight Meyer lemon citrus on the nose. There also a slight vanilla or honey as well. Slightly sweet and acidic right at the tip of the tongue. Mid palate is slightly smoother with a spicy finish.

Much better then it was soon after release. Tangerine all day! Slight bit of acidity on the backside. Delicious! They can certainly make a Great Sav Blanc!

Golden yellow in color. Grapefruit predominant on the nose with fainter notes of tropical fruit and grass. Oak influence, sur lie aging, and a bit of sémillon all add to the substantial mouthfeel before tangy lime on the finish.

A Sauvignon Blanc with heavy citrus...but not grapefruit as most. Meyer Lemon and honey are dominate and paired well with the fresh tzatziki, mint and dates.

I don't love oak aged Sauvignon Blancs, but this is a solid wine. Tropical fruits. Minerality that's rare in Napa SB. Fruit from a famous winegrower and it shows. Would love to taste this effort unoaked.
