Consistently good. Great QPR.

2020 vintage

This was great. Lots of acidity and a nice round texture. I wonder if this went through ML, actually. Tropical fruit, hints of coconut, citrus, and a long-ish finish.

2020 vintage

Creamy citrus

2020 vintage

Good acidity

2020 vintage

Tasty, zesty, and refreshing.

2020 vintage

Delightful; crisp, clean flavor with hint of citrus; easy to drink.

2020 vintage

Light straw color. Nose of damp limestone. Light bodied. Sour apple and white peach. A little sweetness and a slight tartness to it. Really hits the spot on a hot summer day.

2020 vintage

Citrus, but also a bit of under-ripe peach. Maybe needs a little time.

Drank alongside the 2016 at a bbq at my house. This wine has a palate of straw, river rocks, fresh cut grass and a tinge of pineapple. The 16 was my personal favorite.

Consistent with earlier bottle. This reminds me of the Turley zins in terms of lush texture, but the flavors are much more restrained and subtle. Lovely SB.

i will be the outlier on this note and rating.. average at best.. typical new world sb.. nose was classically lemon and citrus.. beautiful nose.. degraded on the palate to a slightly overripe pear, pineapple tropical fruit mush. didn't stand out, didn't get better, finish was bitter as expected.. most SB have a pithy seed finish to me. Average.. 87 might be to high but the quality was evident. .its well made just nothing about it that stands out.. i …

As the weather cooperated we started our Fourth of July celebration on my patio with this wine. Light in color with a palate of grass, straw and river rocks. A moderate finish. Actually blind you could take this for an American version of a Sancerre. Enjoyable.

2017 vintage

Chilled, popped and poured. Dense and lively nose of melon, gooseberry and wild flowers. Rich mouthfeel and some more dense, earthy notes, topped up with vibrant summer fruits. A very Turley-esque SB resulting in a unique style that puts a smile on your face.

2020 vintage

Somewhat rounded in feel, with pear and melon flavors. Very polished impression. Tasty.

2020 vintage

12.8% ABV Lemon, pear, a little salt. Very Tasty!

Flabby.

2017 vintage

Light, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc. Tight aromatics and a bit of a clipped finish. I enjoy the lighter style but like a bit more bite.

2017 vintage

Enjoyable but somewhat nondescript.

So here we are a week later since I first opened this wine. I had it left out open for 24 hours and then recorked and refrigerated. The wine has improved. The wine is a little unbalanced with acidity dominating, but it is fresh, more approachable. Crisp, tangy, unique and probably designed for 10 years out.

2017 vintage

Not scored because this is way to young and green. It is underdeveloped in fruit, unbalanced in acidity and frankly raw in expression. I am going to leave this one out overnight opened and try in 24 hours.

First SB of the warm season and honestly a bit of a let down. To be fair I have high expectations for all wines Turley, and SB isn’t their wheelhouse. A warmer weather version. Subdued nose, restrained but nicely textured palette, and a surprisingly strong finish. SB is just a quaffer for me, and this fits that bill.

2017 vintage

Nice SB. No grassiness. A little lacking in acidity.
