Funky fun. High sulfur. Barnyard funk 101. Would never know it’s a SavBlanc. This is great stuff. Has to be part of The Trustfall. #doloresoutpost

@its a magical wine that happens to be drinking in its prime.

2 people found it helpfulJan 17th, 2014This is a big wine full of big contradictions. First of all, was not expecting a dark golden, almost orange hue. Had to look it up and was surprised by an SB with intense skin and malo aging. A pungent, sour nose. It’s not at all a turn off, the opposite really. At the front I get a brine, salt water character but that quickly turns into a giant sour apricot with a long lingering finish that transitions into unripe banana and spicy herbs. Medium to full body with loads of puckering acid. A unique and wildly different wine.

Bright and powerful at 6 years old. We strained and decanted. Perfect match to the cuisine at Faith & Flower (LA,CA,USA). Tuna tartar, risotto(s), jerk chicken. Mmmmm.

May 8th, 2017I dug the hell outta this. 30 day skin contact Sav Blanc. Side by side with the Czech wine. Had a bit more high toned fruit coming through and a bit sharper acid.
