Star bright straw gold. Quince, orange zest, and white pepper on the inviting nose and medium palate which adds a bit of birch(!) on the finish. Extra time on the lees shows itself in texture and body that many California unoaked Chardonnays lack. Not Burgundian by any stretch, but it can go anywhere a lower-end Maconnais can with aplomb. Pork medallions is my current choice. Drink now. — 5 years ago

The nose this wine offers is unlike any I've experienced with Sauvignon Blanc, even of the Musqué variety, like this one. There are apple notes and flower aromas, but an overriding smokiness - muskiness? - lends a savory effect. The acidity is zippy but not mind-blowing, and the weight is medium full, like a Chardonnay. It's a very satisfying drink, and one of the more impressive of the variety that I've tasted. Sauvignon Blanc generally means spring to me, but this would be great next to a Thanksgiving ham.

Cherry, plum, cinnamon on the nose. Med - acid. Exceptional fruit, smoke, and hints of vanilla. Cocoa notes too. Drink now or in next couple years. Glad to open it now. #wine #sonoma #cabfranc #healdsburg — 11 years ago

Wow. The first words out of my mouth were, "This tastes expensive." The nose is full and rich as well. Plenty of layers and complexity here. This is going on the very short list of "excellent." - 2012 vintage — 12 years ago

Good but one note. Drank like an uninteresting Syrah or Zin. Glad we tried it but not worth getting again. Maybe it would age better? — 6 years ago
