Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb floral notes. On the palate flavors of zesty sour green apple fruit flavors and some grassy tones, lively acidity. The wine finished with earthy herbal, grassy, subtle oak and mineral notes.

Not very exciting, but ok for a hot day.

Lost a little bit of its acid and brightness but still very smooth drinking

Bright, very bright. Not blinding, but definitely bright enough to warrant the figurative mouth sunglasses. The first swig is almost aggressive in it's tang - very fruity and held together with some acidity (the partnership works well). Then it hangs around a little, showing off it's body, which is fairly stocky like a water polo player without being the least bit overweight. It climbs out of the mouth-pool rather quickly, as if it weighed but a feather, dripping a little trail of mineral taste as it heads for the locker room, leaving you wondering how such a robust body can still seem so light and how it can start out almost sweet and finish almost dry. And how bad this review is. (I have no idea what I'm talking about.) But it's a solid wine - really solid.

For California sauvignon blanc this is pretty decent and exhibits pineapple honey and vanilla notes in the nose. The wine has a round body from barrel aging; it is very pleasant with no grassiness.

Citrus bouquet. Bright, full body. Acidity and spritz dramatically decrease after swirling. Outstanding value.

Pours lemon in color. ON THE NOSE: peach and grapefruit and hint of grass. ON THE PALATE: peach grapefruit and sweet mango. Decent acid but the finish is a bit flabby. Not as crisp as I would love. Light body medium (-) finish
