Hidden Bench, Rosomel Vineyard Fume Blanc, Beamsville Bench

Little past it's prime but still interesting. Apples and pare in the after taste, touch of grass. Medium yellow.

Not sure what WS was tasting (77PTS?), but this was a great wine in my opinion, and one of the best whites we've ever had from Niagara - Deep gold, full bodied with a nose of grapefruit, grass, lime, dust and vanilla, very complex, well made amazing texture, sour, silky smooth on the finish with terrific length (91 Points).

Great wine. Holding up very well four years after the vintage. Pretty aromatics of guava, passion fruit, smoke and beeswax. The depth and viscosity on the palette makes you think it has some Semillon in it, but it's all Sauvignon Blanc. The oak aging is noticeable, but the wood is well integrated into the wine, providing a bit of smokiness and roundness to the wine's mouthfeel.

Sauvignon Blanc is certainly not one of the most prolific Niagara whites (in relation to Chard, Reisling, Gewurtz, Vidal), but this was stunning when married with oak, and it was certainly huge to say the least, it scores high on the 'unique' scale for sure - Deep gold, quite viscous, a nose of grapefruit, peach, smoke, creme and vanilla, quite hedonistic, very interesting, a touch towards off balance, decent structure, acidity, sweet and sour on the palate with terrific length, …

The best offering of this years release. Sparkling acidity, good citrus apple base, very nice persistance

Deep straw; grapefruits, lemongrass, minerals; citrusy, creamy, medium body, beautiful balance, good acidity, lingering finish. Typical SB flavours were each noticeable yet balanced with a slight butteriness. This opened up impressively. A winner with lobster salad and good Chardonnay alternative for the wife.
