Prefer the Clemson lead over this down the middle Sav Blac.

Fruit-forward Savignon Blanc with a tart finish. Nice with fish and other seafood, but a little bitter on its own.

Super acidic, and almost effervescent. Crisp, and fruity with green apple and peach flavors. From WSJ Wines. Interesting that my rating gets worse every time I have this …. Tasted 17 July 2022

Same bottle as rated one week ago, so a bit old now …. Definitely apricot is the primary flavor, along with some lemon and oak. Light, but not really “crisp”. Tasted 6 June 2022

Love a good Sauvy B. This one has your typical granite and some passionfruit #wsjwine

Fresh and crisp - would be an excellent summer wine, maybe a spritzer.

Nelson sav like their Chardonnay has brighter fruit but perhaps less mineral notes less (cats wee) asparagus notes but all drink well
