Usually, I like this wine but it tasted a bit too harsh, not smooth finish and hard on the back of my mouth. Not the crisp, clean finish I like in a SB.

Straw-colored and highly aromatic, this wine flaunts scents of citrus, lavender,white peaches and baking spices. Light-to-medium-bodied, crisply acidic and seamlessly alcoholic (14.4%), it delivers flavors similar to the nose and remains solid in the middle. The wine's oak is nicely woven and its fresh finish is lengthy. This Sauvignon Blanc is holding up nicely, adding a floral component which was not noted at the time of my last tasting 9/30/13. Drink now-2016.

Last night, we drank it after a Kim Crawford and it felt so buttery and fuller, almost like a chardonnay. Tonight with fish, it felt balanced on the tongue and tasted better.

This is one of my favorite Sauv Blancs and it was perfect as a cleansing wine before the heavy reds at dinner. It had a stronger minerality flavor than normal with very light fruit.

GEMS on Tour 2014-Austin (Red Room Lounge): This was excellent, very good, and one I'll look for in the future.
