What a delicious wine. Golden in color. The nose has honey, quince and slight apricot. On the palate, this is viscous. Sweet but not overtly. Good acidity. Honey and slightly bitter apricot notes make it easy to drink a second glass. Long finish. Easily has a couple of decades left. Just delicious.
Silvery green in color. Very nice nose with chalk, minerals, tarragon and slight lemon notes. Decidedly more mineral driven than fruit. On the palate, the lemon comes out a bit more along with a bit of peach. Plenty of minerals as well. A very nice oily texture. Great balance and acidity. Long finish. This is a energetic and persistent wine that is lean and goes great with food. It has depth and complexity as well and probably be drinking just fine in ten years, but the energy will be gone, so it is best enjoyed in the next few.
Light green gold in color. The nose is nice with minerals and melons. On the palate, this is tight. Obviously it's young, but still it took some time to open. The melons carry thru to the palate along with a slight grass note. Good finish. Works well with or without food but needs a bit of air. Very solid but seems like some patience may be rewarded. Good now, but will greatness develop? I think so.
80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon. Silvery gold in color. The nose is nice with slight tropical fruit. Also some pears. On the palate, this is nice. Round. Not a lot of acidity. Tasty though and easy to drink. Drink it cold and it will be refreshing. Food friendly. This is under $20 and a pretty good value. Drink over the next few years to enjoy its freshness.
Light silvery gold in color. The nose is big with lots of yellow grapefruit. On the palate, this is not as big but nice. Minerals and clean. A slight bitter note. The finish shows the return of the grapefruit. This took about 30 minutes to open and improved after that. Its an easy drinking wine that is very food friendly. No hard edges. It proved to be quite popular with friends.
Perfect on a hot day. Light golden in color. The nose is great. Fresh with slight tropical fruit, melons, a bit of grass and minerals. Really clean. On the palate, the melons and minerals carry thru. Also a tart note that is interesting. Nice texture. Good acidity. Long finish. Food friendly. This is the kind of wine that is (too) easy to drink an entire bottle of. Refreshing but also with some depth. Fairly priced at $35.
Light golden in color. The nose is quiet at first but opens to nice grapefruit notes. Very fresh on the nose. The grapefruit continues to the palate which is both wide and deep. Good acidity. Worked well with food and on its own. Very tasty. Long finish. No green or grass here. At around $35, this is very fairly priced.
Light green gold in color. The nose is clean and slightly grassy with minerals. More minerals driven on the palate. Not a lot of fruit here. For under $20, this is a nice summer sipper. Easy drinking on its own.
