The pale golden wine shows the oak fairly well, and offers a nose that shows an earthy twist on the expected grassiness. In fact, most Cali SauvBlancs I find are rather fruity smelling. This one has plenty of character. The mouthfeel is quite weighty for the variety, and has savory edges which frame the fruit perfectly. This is not a simple sipper or salad wine. It has gravitas and complexity.

Really soft and round for Sauvignon Blanc. Much more floral than tropical.

Lemon grass with a hint of petrol on the nose. The palate shows lots of oak for a SB, a mineral backbone, with strong lemon and acid in the finish.
