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.

Ok. Not as crisp as expected. With some bitterness on the end.

Straw color pineapple and grapefruit in nose. Grapefruit dominates mouth. Slight carbonation (uh oh ML in bottle?) but did dissipate quickly no bubble in tongue-- just a subtle fizz but not enough to say this is bad. Full of citrus. Medium finish

I like it for a bright, less sweet white option with sushi :)

Used to be my staple Sauv Blanc. I still like it, crisp and refreshing, but have moved on. Seems less dry in recent years than it used to be.
