Very fragrant honeydew and lychee bouquet. Lush and lively. Certainly one of the cooler SB bottles I’ve seen.

If there’s a cooler bottle of SB out there I’ve yet to see it. More tropical fruit driven in style. Crisp and fresh.

16’ Nine Suns SB. Needs about 30 minutes for it to warm up. The acidity will subside quite a bit. Light tropical fruits...predominately citrusy, with moderate acidity after it’s been in the glass for a bit.

The 2019 was just released ands it’s wonderful. Still prefer the ‘18 though.

Bright pale yellow. Tons of aromas on the nose with lots of tropical fruits like melon and lychee. Well balanced and moderate acidity (7/10). No grass on the palate, tons of lush tropical fruits and citrus notes like lemon curd and melon. Medium plus bodied with a slight mineral long finish. Drink till 2021.

Fruit is sourced from the Sonoma Coast, need to double check vineyard. Light whole cluster press and aged in a concrete egg. Only 80 cases produced and can only be purchased at the estate not online.
