Cleaning up my Cellar Tracker and removing bottles we have already drunk; love this wine, it is consistently beautiful. Stone fruit on the front of your tongue with a perfectly dry finish. Just lovely.

Received a partial bottle from my Oenophile neighbor. 14.0% abv. Had a Glass with Chinese Chow Mein. Merry Edwards reputation for Sauvignon Blanc is well earned; close to the Pinnacle of SB winemaking. Like the 2014 I had occasion to sample previously, this is an Exceptional and Elegant wine! Clear pale yellow with fragrant nose of flowers and stone fruit. Apricot, pear and tropical fruits on the palate. Creamy along with a touch of minerality. Full-flavored and refreshing with a …

Easter bottle. Nose of orange blossoms. Tropical fruit, orange peel, Meyer lemon curd, and fresh pineapple juice. Viscous, long on palette, flint lock & hint of Asian 5-Spice. Outstanding as always! Continues to set the bar for top sav blanc in US market.

Opened and tasted o. its own. Then enjoyed with food (lemongrass chicken with vermicelli rice noodles, in case you were wondering.) Light straw color. Nose offers lemon peel and some unripe pear. Good bright lemon on the intro with kiwi and touch of grass. Nice mouthfeel with a bit of lanolin on the finish. Enjoyable. I think the age gave this a nice texture. 14% abv.

Very nice with fairly bold body. Tropical fruit, definitely some butter notes and with a mineral finish. Very nice and complex.

PNP at the restaurant with seafood. Good mouthfeel, a bit of sweetness, less grassy classic SB taste. Long on the finish. Really good. BUY

August 4 & 5, 2023 This leads with a grassy note, but the fruit takes over soon after. Bright, ripe grapefruit citrus quality with rich and ripe tropical fruit flavors like guava and passionfruit. Mouthwatering acidity and flavors that linger on the palate. No rush for well-stored bottles.

Nice wine but felt a little past prime and lacked the fresh acidity of her typical SB. A little creamier and more chard like with some pineapple and tropical fruit on the finish.

No formal note taken, was consumed alongside a 2016 ME Sauv Blanc. This was drinking wonderfully, great balance and intensity. Lucious tropical fruit on the palate with subtle butter notes, slightly creamy mouth-feel and a long finish. Drinking great today, but likely has another year or two of peak deliciousness.

Aromatic wine yet one note. I felt the ending was short and never really satisfied even when it reached room temperature. I was disappointed for the price point.

A powerful scent of Thai kaffir lime, kiwi, melon, and Comice pear. The mouth-tingling flavors are rich with succulent, highly concentrated, citrus-inflected fruit that saturates and coats the palate with a luscious viscosity that doubles as a soothing balm if paired with a spicy Thai cuisine which this wine adores.

This is an exquisite Sauvignon Blanc. Not your gooseberry/passion fruit style or grassy or grapefruity but a wine unto its own. I got flavors of white peach and barely ripe pear. Some honeysuckle on the nose. Just elegant and fun.
