Just outstanding. Pale lemon with complex aromas of fresh ripe citrus and tropical fruits with herbal mineral notes. Pineapple and orange citrus flavors adding grapefruit & peach tones, great acidity balance, rich & smooth, medium+ finish ending with rich bright mineral character. Nice! Had this several times, consistent quality. Short-term aging will benefit.

A snappy dresser, this Fumé Blanc, it wears colorful cravats and drops dry jokes like no tomorrow all while drinking a sophisticated well made daiquiri. Then it softens, and makes it clear to you that it is there for you. The sharp persona shed. For a moment. All of which to say is this wine is pungeant and herbal yet lemonyly (it’s a word now) with a hint of tropical flowers up front then there is a butter-you-up underbelly then it punches up with acid and alcohol. I want to be this wine’s friend but it will be one that keeps me on my toes.

I like it. Taste a little like a Chardonnay but still good for Caitlin.

Still the Sauv Blanc benchmark. Floral nose, crisp and refreshing on the palate, enriched with some tropical fruit.
