@delectable This is a Texan, not a Californian; Texas High Plains AVA to be exact. I'm speechless after this effort... insane character and uniqueness. Has it's own definitive style without losing the soul of Sauvignon Blanc. This is straight up radiating with energy.
My girl wanted in on this review. She's got a way with words that is one in a million 😜 So, here is our combined effort:
"Now featuring: The Green Elixir. Wisps of kiwi swiftly enter the nasal passage on command. Over-ripened sweet cantaloupe charges through leaping over fresh Bosc pears. Similar to walking through a field of freshly cut grass on a midsummer Sunday morning. Upon walking through the renewed grass, you will come across loamy soil, enveloped with sandy silt. Dandelions magically pop up along the adventurous route dancing lazily in the breeze.
Taste consistently bathes, not lingers, but bathes on the palate. Anyone ever kiss a lime rind? Experience it now with The Green Elixir. Sour, yet makes you yearn for more. Granny Smith apples frolic throughout the tastebuds. Heading towards the end of our adventure, straw begins to make an appearance and wants to join in the fun. At the peak of the completion of our endeavor, a special herb comes out to play. Lemon Basil pleasantly surprises you to make sure your finale is more than grand.
*Medium-plus acidity and Medium-minus body
💚🍏🍐🍈🥝🌿🌳🥂"

Very nice. Very tart cherry with a hint of a rhubarb chaser. Had my traditional baked sweet potato from a recipe that @Dana Kennedy gave me. I think she is out of wine 😩 — 8 years ago
Great fruit and structure. Could age for years to come. — 9 years ago
Beautiful pork loin and roasted veg in the new pizza-plus outdoor oven. Delicious meal. Very enjoyable wine. Might like a bit more pow if I’m being picky. Dana says, not pow, but more fuller palette if she’s being picky. — 6 years ago
Opened for 2nd anniversary, given to us by Dana and Andy — 7 years ago
Much preferred this to the Dana Hershey Vyd. This at least had a character that seems to be derived from grapes. Firmer and with a more persistent finish that seems to vide well for this to start showing aromatic complexity with additional bottle age. — 8 years ago
This was the middle wine @Dana Kennedy. Lots of different aromas and flavors. Cola @Todd Abrams was the first followed by raisins and cigars. Pretty damn good — 8 years ago
Dana Thompson had the perfect description on Delectable of this wine--it's the perfect combo of Burgundy and Napa Pinot... earth, must, and fruit. Very enjoyable. — 8 years ago
