Kiwi, citrus, pungent, slate minerality and great acid. Yum! For the price, an amazing food wine. Kicking butt with some pasta. Thanks for the fresh herbs Doug, made all the difference :)

oak masks a lot of the character of the varietal, fairly neutral in aroma (outside if the toast, butter, and baking spices)

Overtly aromatic, toasty oak, loads of vanilla and apricot flavors. Pretty fresh, though simple.

$26 Medium nose. Notes of pear, green apple, lemongrass, lemon rind, spice and vanilla on the nose. Light body. Low alcohol. Low acid. Medium tannins. Dry. There are notes of pear, green apple and grass on the palate. This is a delicious, refreshing white that's easy to drink and well balanced. There are subtle notes of oak that increase the complexity. This is a great example of SB done well. Definitely drink again!
