Delicious - in the fume Blanc style, with subtle grapefruit, asparagus, and a tinge of oak for body and texture.

I don't know which pie this Sauv Blanc pairs well with - guessing passion fruit (which Royer's didn't have).

Jalepeno, grapefruit, grass, potpourri. M+ acid. Balanced and refreshing. Fantastic for the price.

Great example of CA Sauv Blanc. Crisp and light dry style with grapefruit that balances well with acidity - had with and seared scallops and then add 1/2 cup of this wine

Nice mix of old world and new, but leans more to NZ style sauv blanc. Grass, gooseberry, lemon rind, tart minerality, touch of apricot.

Clean neat and flavorful. Ever so slight end that’s off a bit. Enjoy a refreshing drink.

Taste better second day. Needs to open up. Didn’t realize white sometimes needs to breathe
