Similar to previous notes, big white wine, oak nicely integrated, drank with shrimp with Chinese noodles and veggies, interesting style, last bottle, also think it has slightly passed its prime, might try another vintage,

Second bottle for us, full body, lots of oak but incredibly well integrated, great fruit, well balanced with enough acid to keep it lively, did I say it is a big wine, 14.3% abv,drank with fried calamari and swordfish, pricey but its pretty good, one more bottle, I really like Napa SB’s.

Sauvignon blanc on steroids, full body, grassy bouquet, complex flavors with oak well integrated, never became too oaky, 14.3% abv but never noticed in the taste, long finish, lots going on with this wine, beginning to think that Napa should be known for is SB's, check out Cliff Lede SB, drank with salmon in a saffron cream sauce with leeks over fresh spinach fettucine, pricey wine but will try to drink again.

Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc in vintage 2020 had additional barrel influence, resulting in a broader and creamier demeanor. It shows intense aromas of stone fruits, white flowers, and pear. The texture is richly layered, with flavors of vanilla, melons and citrus. It is delightfully vibrant and fresh, yet with an extra dimension of complexity and varietal completeness. This will be a fun wine to watch as it develops, in the bottle and in the glass.”— Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzky, Winemakers

Very consistent year over year and a terrific QPR.grassy on the nose with some tropical fruits in the background. Great mouthfeel - acidity onthe attack.and finish, but richness on the mid palate. Paired with grilled swordfish, grilled mushrooms and garden salad.

Loaded with flavor, even aged. Mineral, citrus, spice, touch of hay/grass. Love the crispness which not being too acidic. Hit the spot tonight. Me - 92, Wife - 91

Either it is the weather or the poolside drinking experience, but I really liked it today. Beautifully crafted SB. Aromas of tropical fruit with a palette of pear, some grass, and mango.

Great Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical fruits - mango, papaya - with a lively acidity. Oak has integrated nicely and provides a medium body to counterbalance the tropical fruits and acidity. Very refreshing and really well done. Certainly not your typical NZ style (grass, tartness, etc.). Highly recommended.

Bright and zippy! Wonderful notes of ripe juicy lemon on the palate with a herbaceous finish featuring sage and grass. Topped off with nice lingering notes of minerals.
