Medium body with some sexy long legs that go on and on. I don’t hate Sauvignon Blanc per se, but I’ve never loved the varietal. This is a game changer. Stone fruits, lemon-lime spritzer, strawberry, apricot, and honeydew on the complex palate. Long finish with minerality and more tropical fruit. One of the best white wines from one of the best producers in the country.

This brawny Rutherford SB is much like that kid that joined the marines just for fun. Bronzed pear color. Fat legs coat the glass upon initial swirl. Robust, rich and perhaps almost pine-tinged flavors of lime and kiwi. Bold, with a nice, weighty mouthfeel. Has body and bite. Was very lucky to find this wine indeed. Yellow flowers and a slight honeyed essence from the Semillion with a present minerality. I think zesty is a great adjective for this Rutherford SB

fruit sourced from Rutherford creates a complex SB with crisp acidity. Tropical fruits, apricot, minerality and a smooth lingering finish. 3% semillon adds just a hint of sweetness.
