Bad bottle. Bought at luckys in west san jose. Really spoiled. Never bought a fume blanc before just because of the name and knew better than to get a 2011...but I did it anyways...

Ferrari Carano's fume blanc trumps this, but it is still worth a try.

Nice Fume Blanc. Less acidic, a little sweeter than many of Sauvignon Blancs.

I guess it's an ok wine. The lemongrass didn't go well with me.

A really solid fume blanc. The nose is grapefruit, and lemon zest. Mellows out a bit as it breaths. A crisp, solid fume blanc.
