Pale lemon with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with blossom notes. On the palate flavors of mango, pineapple and citrus zest flavors with blossom and herb notes. Good balance of acidity, medium+ finish ending with floral, mineral and slight smoky notes. Nice!

Dried black cherry and fig on the nose.

Light bodied, as it should be, with cherry, pomegranate, mint, smoke, twigs and branches. A very light Pinot for this region, with a slightly bitter back bone.

This wine was fantastic! Bursting tropical fruits like Grapefruit, Mandarin Oranges, Nectarines followed by a hint of Dill and Cut Grass. I would drink wine often and all day!

When it’s 5 degrees outside you can chill the bottle just by putting it on the deck. Good Super Bowl wine!!

Great Sauvignon Blanc! Fruit notes of citrus and crisp easy finish! Nice price, too! Drank this wine for the second time at my daughter’s house, one of her favorites!
