Loved this. Paired with fish as an early course in the best meals of our lives at Tegui in Buenos Aires.
Not a sauvignon blanc fan but this wine is smooth and balanced without the brassiness of most interpretations of this varietal. — 8 years ago

Touch of pyrazines, black licorice, pepper, dark used coffee grounds, dark moist soil with crushed rocks, leather, woody presence with fresh dark flowers, dark lavender and some violets.
