Bad bottle with many off flavors. Dang.
Has to be bottle variation, as the other vintages I have had of this wine have been outstanding.

Wine Nerd Herd Thursday lunch which we like to call Sauvignon Blanc on steroids - the wines are delicious and the friendship is even better - this is usually a get rowdy event with just the gents but mixed it up a little and was a blast and definitely a little slice of Heaven

This was my tie for WOTL - just incredible!!

An amazing sauv blanc. So much flint and chalky minerality. Backed up with almost tropical fruit notes and amazing acidity. A great example of what the grape can produce.

A bit austere and a hint smokey, melon, lemon candy, lime zest, crushed stone

“Minerality” blind tasting: voted overall most mineral, austere, funky at first but it opens up real nicely, most people thought this was Chablis

A special wine. Juicy bright lemons, wet rocks, freshly mown hay. Elegant mouthfeel, almost luxurious. A finish that goes on forever. Gonna be sad this when it's gone.
