This wine has huge notes of grapefruit and freshly mown grass on the nose. The palate shows ripe grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, nectarine and a healthy acidity. Shellfish, here we come. Oysters, probably.

I am normally a little nervous about getting'gold medal' wines, but this is really nice. More flavorful than most Sauv Blancs
