Tropical fruit forward aromas, light and bright on the palate with passionfruit and lime and a hint of salinity. I don't usually like New Zealand Sauv Blanc, but damn! "A white for the height of summer" 💯 — a month ago

Born “Dreams Come True” is a Junmai Daiginjo from Kato Kichibee Shoten in Fukui Prefecture. It’s aged for five years at –5 °C (some sources mention –8 °C). This is supposed to be one of the top Born sakes and it would be interesting to try with a couple others side by side. It’s a liter bottle and when it got opened it was on the cold side. As it warmed and opened up you can see why people call it flamboyant. It becomes a big, powerful sake with big flavors and a long finish. Heavy weight on the palate but very smooth and as they say velvety. It was nice but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it - not sure why other than maybe how it started out which was a bit sharp, angular and lean. Need to pull these earlier. — 23 days ago

Kato Pinot Noir
Subtle aromas of cherry and spice, super light on the palate with ripe cherry and soft spices, and very subtle tannins that get a little peppery with food. — 2 days ago
