Beautiful, exotic, cloudy, floral with texture, could easily pass for a viognier. White raspberry, oranges. Beguiling.

After all the Cimarossa reds I’ve enjoyed, I figured it was time I gave this a fair shake. Only time I’ve had this was while visiting the winery a year or so ago, but it was just a splash. Hay/straw color in the glass, with quite the savory aromatics...lots of sea salt and guava. Reminds me a bit of the Addax SauvBlanc (though more filtered). Limestone, melon and just a kiss of sweet tropical fruit on the palate. The finish is a very solid balance of fruit and savory/herbal notes. Acidity is medium and certainly a more full/round version of Cali SB. Consensus? I love every. single. wine. that Cimarossa offers.

Found this and wasn’t sure if it had held up! Crisp, honey and big fruit! Great with fresh halibut!

Super light and refreshing. Good for a summer drink.

Jun 8th, 2019Poured a light straw color. Nose of tropical fruit. Entry of guava, melon, honey. Thicker than expected. Tame acidity doesn't really get going until the finish. Has some apples and herbs on the finish, but mostly tropical character and backbone. Should have bought more of this while I had the chance!

Crisp and toasty at the same time. The perfect wine to straddle spring and summer

Jun 3rd, 2017A nice little Sauvignon Blanc on a Saturday afternoon while watching The Masters. Nice crispness with subtle notes of toasted bread and pear on the nose. Great juicy tastes of lemon and pear with a little bit of a petrol feel on the tongue. Just a really good wine to enjoy life with!
