An easy to drink sauv blanc. Grapefruit and citrus notes without too much tartness

Full bodied yet smooth SB with grassy notes but not overwhelmingly strong with apricot notes

Complex Sauv Blanc with notes of grapefruit, tangerine with spiced hints of bite pepper and some wet stone.

Loved thus Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp and smooth. Will definitely get this again on trip back to Los Olivos.

Eyes:
clear edge; bright shining pale golden light; very clear

Nose:
Honey; Thick, sticky honeydew melon that has been sitting in the sun ; very sweet definitely NOT spicy; light alcohol; honeysuckle; light springy white flowers; pear; cotton candy; mango hi-chew!; vanilla?

Taste:
Honey; thick and viscous; tart aftertaste with slight alcoholic burn; caramelized pears; apricot jam (maybe just because of tarte au poire association); mango hi-chew!; a bit dry
