Pungent, grassy, flinty, lots of minerality, lime and nice acid.

Medium straw gold color. Smooth tropical fruit and toasty grass on the nose and palate. Medium body mouthfeel with juicy acidity and a short-ish finish.

My first taste of the 2014 vintage. Straw gold in the glass. Dried pome and an almost Chenin-like hay on the nose. Medium plus acidity leads a surprisingly full mouthfeel and palate of baked quince and hay grass. Longish finish for this appellation (that'd be medium, generally). Not a complicated wine, but more complex than one would expect. I like this vintage.

Pale straw with minor rim variation. Orange, grass, and white spice on the nose. On the palate, satsuma, honeysuckle, fresh hay. Medium light body. Almost watery acidity. Not much of a finish. Very food friendly, though.

Pale gold. Smooth and medium-bodied on the palate. Juicy tropical fruit and lemongrass. Just enough acidity to keep things lively.

Some nice tropical notes. Perfect for the beach. Crisp acid. Nicely rounded for the price!

Smooth. Not a word is normally associate with Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical grass is the rule. Great QPR at $12.
