Had an opportunity to taste the 2013 & 2014 side by side. Clean, clear bright pale yellow, stone and citrus fruit aromas, and floral notes. Palate shows grapefruit and crisp apple fruit flavors and some grassy and mineral notes. The wine finished about medium and was a bit better than 2013. Tasting Sample.

Slightly more residual sugar than your average SB, this wine is smooth as silk and not citric at all. Paired nicely with Cantonese cuisine.

I was blinded on this and it ended a friendship. This was so out of balance. Loads of grapefuit, acidified (I believe), more herbal / grassy character than any domestic SB should have.

Pours a silvery golden hue. Smells like fresh copy paper and pears. Flavors are classic. Hint of sour cream to go with the pear-lemon tartlet. Plenty of grippy wet rock stuff too. Maybe some grass. Not too heavy on the citrus. It’s a nice CA S.B. And sustainable to boot.
