Purely delicious - lush pink grapefruit and tons of acid. Loved.

Nice texture with notes of orange blossom and melon. Medium bodied Sauvignon Blanc that we ate with our Salad Lyonnaise

This wine had me believing we were in Marlborough, and I was quite surprised to find that we were on the West Coast. Cut grass, green bell peppers, and loads of herbaceous qualities with a citrus backdrop.

Fantastic sav blanc. Stone fruit, lemon rind, brilliant but perfectly tempered acidity, and a lengthy finish rare in a sav blanc. Delish.

Cloudy lemonade. Lots of power and body. At Jasmine's new place.

Tropical fruit and light spice, some zest to it. Hints of petrol which isn't my preference.

So rich like a Chardonnay, but light & dry with very soft fruits. A perfect Sauvignon Blanc.
