This brawny Rutherford SB is much like that kid that joined the marines just for fun. Bronzed pear color. Fat legs coat the glass upon initial swirl. Robust, rich and perhaps almost pine-tinged flavors of lime and kiwi. Bold, with a nice, weighty mouthfeel. Has body and bite. Was very lucky to find this wine indeed. Yellow flowers and a slight honeyed essence from the Semillion with a present minerality. I think zesty is a great adjective for this Rutherford SB — 9 years ago

Such a great nose on this. Lots of tropical fruit. Pineapple, kiwi, papaya. Good acidity, crisp, mineral driven. Love the wines from Dragonette — 9 years ago

Tart kiwi nose, riper on palate, lime, sour apple, very green fruit, biting, subtle white tea comes in later and softens to flaky pastry. — 10 years ago

Extremely interesting for ordinary kiwi Sauv Blanc. Worth the risk. Muted tropical highlights grass and herbs with an Sicilian style funk. — 10 years ago

Polished, deep dark juice. Mocha and blueberries. Well structured, big but pretty. Lots of finesse. Kiwi and red currants on the finish. Just getting better and better. This stuff is dynamite. — 11 years ago

The color of this tickles me--a bright, almost neon pink. Nose takes me straight to strawberry-kiwi starburst. Lemon oil and gravelly mineral notes. Palate is juicy, oily, and a bit grippy. — 9 years ago

Killer minerality and a touch of funk, which sets it apart from the run of the mill Kiwi SB. Plenty of ripe tropical fruit, too. — 9 years ago

This is a pretty good wine. It's a little a little dry but I like it. It's a little stronger than other Pinot's I've had. — 11 years ago

Ive never had a Kerner before so I have no point of reference but this wine was striking. My initial impression was hard to describe at first, there is a sharpness to the nose that is reminiscent of smelling CO2 off of a rapid fermentation. It reminded me almost of the sensation of smelling ammonia. Once that fades I'm left with a raspberry smell. As the wine warms it goes into white peaches and kiwi fruit. The acidity is on par with perhaps lower end Riesling but the outright dryness is reminiscent of quality Sancerre. It left me really happy. I don't know why this wine seems such a bastard but I quite like it. — 9 years ago

Lemon drizzled over stones, attractive green notes of asparagus and fresh cut graden herbs. Also kiwi, pear and melon. Smoke, seaweed, more salty minerality and opulence than in your usual SB! Very singular and satisfying. — 11 years ago
