July 4th Friday was a total blowout! Killer bottles one after another. Here are just a few of the bottles we all enjoyed!
I don’t think I’ve ever had a SauvBlanc with as much grapefruit as there was here. Wow. It dominated every part of the wine, with added pink sea salt, lemon rind and sharp acidity. More than anything, this just seemed really young. Hold for another 2-3yrs.

Bright pale yellow. Love the nose, layers of tropical, citrus and stone fruits. Tangerine, kiwi, lychee, peaches, apricots, wet grass and white floral notes. Moderate and tangy acidity (7/10). Fresh and crisp with a light body. Notes of green apples, citrus zest and lime. Long finish. Drink till 2023. (92+)

@Martin G Rivard thank you my friend for sharing this with me. Sea mist and flint with a hint of cream on the nose. Salinity carries over to the palate with notes of wet concrete, touch of custard and salt. Well done and not your normal Calli SB.

This wine possess a great deal of potential. The vineyard has the capability too. Honey, melon and a coated citrus fruit marries with bright acidity. A medium bodied wine. @Palmer Emmitt @Paul T @Martin G Rivard @Connor McMahon @Terri Walker @TheSkip @Warren Sapp @Terri Walker @Eric S @Jacqueline @Vanessa D @Jim Trobaugh @Jody Scharf @David L @Vanessa D @Eric S @Neal Schaffer @Bill Bender @Ian Blackburn
