Probably one of the better Sauvignon Blanc's I have drank recently. It lands somewhere between Marlborough and Sancerre with good amounts of green pepper showing through on the nose but finishes on the palate with great amounts of minerality.

Jan 28th, 2014Great bright fruit & slight hints of oak. If it wasn't 20 degrees below zero...I'd drink the entire bottle.

Sep 9th, 2016Took apart the carburetor on my Dad's old snowblower and now I smell like 20 year old gasoline. Wanted something "light" to go with that. This really fits the bill. Not an especially bright SB, but very quaffable.
