Blind tasting party and this wine was one of the most talked about. Crafted the way Sav Blanc should be. Pure and balanced. A nice surprise.

Summer White Wines : Dark straw color. Pretty and floral on the nose with lots of grapefruit, orange and lime fruit, topped with crushed shells and honeysuckle. Crisp and clean on the palate, tingly acidity but some moderately creamy body. Oranges, limes, kumquat and grapefruit flavors abound, and I get bright, salty, chalky mineral tones. Nuances of honeysuckle and white tea. Insane value for $15.

Seafood-friendly, but undistinguished everyday wine.

Well-made, freshly acidic and "friendly," this straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc offers aromas of lemon verbena, melon and passion fruit. Light-bodied and with unnoticeable alcohol (listed as 13.0%), it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and stays solid in the middle. Medium-length and crisp on the back end, this delicious wine can be enjoyed on its own or serve as a perfect partner to light fare. Drink now-2016.
