15’ Farella La Luce Sauvignon Blanc. Stone fruits. Lemon peel. Healthy dose of acidity. They sell most of the there grapes to Realm & Lail. Food pairing SB Edit- Tasting much better then upon release date! The acid has calm down quite a bit after about 30 minutes in the glass. Very enjoyable. These high acid wines...don’t drink them so cold ,cellar temperature is just fine!

Very fine and reasonably priced Napa Valley sauvignon blanc to end a tough week.

Great grapes to start with. Not oakey but not super crisp either - somewhere in the middle of those two. A little sulphery for my tastes as a stand alone, quite nice with a fatty cheese (we had it with Delice de Bourgogne) and it stood up perfectly for my preferences. Would have again if paired with the right foods.

Nice honeysuckle and citrus nose. Balance is there. A complete and full sauv blanc. A bit too full and smooth/sweet for my preference. Not missing much, but I like ‘em more austere.
