Light straw color with typical SB aromas adding a touch of floral mineral notes. On the palate flavors of melon and grapefruit with lemon citrus and honeysuckle notes, generous acidity, great mouthfeel with long finish ending with a salty spice mineral character. Nice wine!

Wafting kiwi from the glass, clean but a slightly metallic finish.

Crisp, clean and very aromatic! Normally I am not a big Sauv Blanc fan but this was one I could get behind. The nose was filled with fresh peaches, apricots, lime zest and white flowers. Bright acidity but not overdone; allowed the fruit to really shine. More citrus, pear, and melon on the mid palate with a zippy finish of ginger, quince and minerals.

Refreshing. Crisp. Grapefruit and lychee. Perfect with the setting sun and friends!

A tasty, tropical Sauv Blanc from Cabernet country. The 2011 is still holding up well.
