This yellow-gold wine rings the “old-style Cali” bell in all the right ways. A nose of apricots, mangoes and apples is helped along with the smell of buttered popcorn. Oak treats the palate as well, draping over the tropical fruit like a sunshade. The acidity is zesty, yet the mouthfeel tends toward creaminess due to the wine sitting on the lees for five months. The oak is a definite part of the wine, but the effect is softened enough so that it's a pleasure, not a pain. — 6 years ago

Just ripe peach, some grassy notes. A little green bell pepper. Very drinkable. Another excellent NZ Sauvignon blanc. — 9 months ago

Quite ready to go. No decant, opened 3 hours before. Nice seamless fruit, tannins very integrated. Could use a bit more acid, but still appreciate it esp at a nice restrained 13.4%. — 9 months ago
