The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes lightly of melon, grapefruit and mineral. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Very crisp and refreshing - holding up very nicely for a 2013 at this stage. Tons of melon, citrus and grapefruit on the nose and lovely finish. Really nice drinking at a summer BBQ.

Melon and pear on the nose, with citrus/grapefruit and floral notes. On the attack green apple accentuates the long finishing grapefruit backbone with touch of leechi and tar oil note. Good acidity throughout.

Still my favorite Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp, flavors of grapefruit, melon and peach. The right amount of acidity offers a little backbone. Very nice bottle of wine.

- Yellow color and aromas of grapefruit, apricot and apple. It's in total harmony and has flavours of cut green grass, grapefruit and peach with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish.

This is the kind of Sauvignon Blanc that earns 91 points. The first sniff tells you this is super serious Sauvignon Blanc. There are aromas of honey baked apple, white flowers, citrus, and grass. Small amounts of barrel fermentation, and large amounts of generous lees stirring bring a healthy viscosity and mouth feel. Absolutely no sweetness. Full malic acid crispness. A hint of apricot and tangerine with the lemon, gooseberry, grapefruit, pineapple, and ripe pear. Delightfully seamless.

Light pale gold. Nose tinged with green grass, lemons, bean sprouts. A slight spritz. Pleasant lemon/lime tartness, but relatively straightforward and direct. Medium finish with more grapefruit than lemon.

Dinner with Friends (Shaker Square): $42 off the list at Fire. It took about 20 minutes to open as it warmed. The nose is slightly grassy with a bit of tropical fruits and lemons. Nice, slightly oily texture. Nice balance. Good fruit on the palate. Solid finish. Reasonably food friendly. Very good if not great.

Full bodied. Creamy melon and grassy notes. Granite on the nose. Potency is starting to fade but still has a few more years to go.

Loved this, most full bodied SB I've had in a long while, Nicky without being over Kales or overly sweet.

Delicious as always. A bit darker than pale straw, limited nose but bursting flavors of grapefruit. Lemon and a bit of pear.

Lightly zesty grapefruit flavors. Finishes a bit short and not as appealing as the Naudet Sancerre tasted along side, but fine enough

Winery tasting. Very grassy, crisp nose. Grassy flavors and apple. Tart, reminiscent of New Zealand.

First trip to Napa! - Sinskey and Cliff Lede (Napa, CA): Great nose! Sweet grapefruit, tomato, oregano. In the mouth, high rippling acid. Beautiful. 9-
