Floral, slight effervescence, crisp, a little tropical fruit, citrus, and lemongrass. Very balanced and was terrific with spicy fish tacos. One of our new favorite whites. — 9 years ago
Slight hint of grapefruit. Tastes of a combination of different tropical fruits. Like a tropical Starburst. Really enjoy the crispness as well as the tart aftertaste. — 10 years ago

Such a great nose on this. Lots of tropical fruit. Pineapple, kiwi, papaya. Good acidity, crisp, mineral driven. Love the wines from Dragonette — 9 years ago
Drink Seasonally! Tropical the 1st night, tingly zesty acidity, 2nd night was grassy & herby - gave us the textbook on SB — 10 years ago
Ripe and tropical SB. Semillon adds a nice creamy texture. The oak is a little aggressive and persistent on the finish. — 10 years ago
Fantastic chard by Mark Aubert. Great aromatics of lemon, white flowers, tropical fruits, along with hints of pineapple and maybe a trace of vanilla. Rich on the palate that echoes the lemon on the nose, but adds a touch of acidity that keeps it moving through an impressively long, lingering finish. Awesome. — 7 years ago
I couldn't help but pit this against my recent tastings of Chateau Montelena's 2013. Stylistically, they are worlds apart. The Montelena is less imposing, and even coy by comparison, but it's piercing acidity shocks the palate, firing the flavors everywhere, but with a linear feel.
The Beringer begins with rich aromatics of tropical fruit, coconut, cream brûlée, and meringue, with a dash of dill. Everything translates through to the palate, which flaunts its round figure. The lack of acidity releases the wine on the palate to pursue its less-than-subtle seduction. I will admit, I was no match for this temptress Chardonnay. That said, by comparison to the Montelena, the Beringer feels like it has been cosmetically enhanced. Fortunately, it was in just the right places. — 8 years ago
From a great looking bottle with high fill and perfect cork. Yellow gold and heavy weight in the glass. Bright tropical nose with notes of citrus fruit, river stone, petrol, clove and orange peel. Nice and round in the mouth but still with great acidity. Coats the taste buds. This was better in the first two hours than when compared to the last 4 hours. Paired well with cold heirloom tomato gazpacho soup. — 9 years ago

My favorite Sauvignon blanc - very fruity (citrus, tropical) without being overly sweet, which is perfect. Not as herbaceous/mineraly as Loire SBs. The 2014 vintage isn't as good, unfortunately.

Pale straw colour with green hue. Mix of tropical fruits on the nose, lemon and lime, herbal and grassy notes. Zesty and refreshing acids. Crisp clean finish. You probably cannot go wrong with Oyster Bay. — 10 years ago
