Tasted double blind. Grapefruit, Lemon citrus, yellow flowers, minerals, wet stone, medium plus acidity, medium body, medium alcohol. I guessed New World, Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc...but started not to like my guess because it didn’t have the piercing acidity of SB. Totally understood the Gruner when it was revealed. Really lovely stuff. So refreshing.

Entry level bottling that improved over the course of three days. Wanted to keep it for another day but couldn't resist.

Melon, beetroot, caramel. Broad and snappy at the same time. Lime zest. Lovely. Amazing value.

Melon, crisp, slightly liquorish. Somewhat (a little) bit of minerality. Delish as an aperitif wine or with food. I had it with scallops prepared with a frame of Armagnac. So so good. Buy it if you can find it. Not widely available. A treat. Oh. And an excellent “value” wine. But. It’s all relative but it’s about &20 in New York!

Lovely suave and lightly rich mouthfeel with oodles of zingy spice, lentil skin and yellow grapefruit pith. Crazily enticing and very dynamic texture-wise. Terrific value, too.
