Purchased at the winery last summer. This fresh take reminds me a lot of Napa and Sonoma versions I used to drink, um, last century. Fresh, floral, ripe orchard fruit on the nose, with a nice, subtle grassiness. A big whack of fruit initially in the mouth, but then fresh subtle herbal notes hit, with a slight bitter note in the finish. Nice fruit/acid balance.

Bright grapefruit, lemon zest, apple, limestone, hay and hints of lime. Electric acidity and good minerality.

Smells like pear, earthy, sweet. Light yellow color. Smells sweeter than it tastes- pear taste but not sweet

Bright tropical fruit notes with solid acidity but "softer" than a NZ Sauv Blanc

Dry with lovely grassy notes. Not overly acidic like so many sauv Blanca on the market
