Bright fruit to the point of juice. But yet dry with plenty of acidity. Indigenous yeast

Aromatic, but not extremely varietal. Palate is long and persistent. Showing no oxidation yet.

Nice picnic wine. 2017 was a little better.

Steve Shaw doesn’t make a bad bottle. Even after 5 years, this delightfully crisp and full of fresh fruit.

2008 sauv Blanc, to be honest, this wind is ridiculous. Super expressive, very grounded, and freaking delicious. If you haven't tried it, you really should.

Interesting FLX Sauv Blanc.
Aromas and flavors of peach, lemon and slate. Hint of grass. Creamy texture. High acidity. Interesting

Shaw never disappoints. Probably shouldn’t have held it this long, but it really was good with dinner. None of the grassy or grapefruit notes that typically turn me off to Sauvignon Blanc.
