Enjoyed this bottle with other gewurztraminer fans. Enough acid and minerals to keep it dry. — 9 months ago

I’m 92-93 here. I think there is a chance this improves slightly over the next 12-18 months before staying at peak and then trending down.
I don’t drink much SauvBlanc (I’d rather just have bubbles) but this SB is like the Goldilocks of Cali SauvBlanc…it’s not the rich, Bordeaux Blanc style (Melka, V29, Lail Georgia, etc) but it’s also not the boring, forgetful SauvBlanc so many wineries create just because. It has Bordeaux Blanc qualities but with a bright twist…there’s grapefruit, tangerine and white peach aromatically, but even while there’s just a kiss of oak on the palate to round it out, it’s nestled between sea spray, lemon and limestone. Almost tart, but pulls back thanks to the oak. Wonderful QPR here — 2 years ago

Bien Nacido vineyard. The wine opens very citrus forward. Lemon zest, and florals. Mid palate gives you the golden apple and minerality. The finish offers a hint of toasted oak. — a month ago
