Elegant, attractive bottle with a pretty fanciful name.
The color is medium straw. The aromas have grassy notes, with something faintly floral underneath, a hint of hay. Thankfully no grapefruit, but no other citrus. The palate is moderately rich and rather soft for an upscale Sauvignon Blanc, even approaching 3 years of age. The flavors follow the aromas. There’s nothing wrong here, but nothing much right. This is a bland, generic bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. There are hints of precision in the flavors, but this lacks cut. Rated 85, drink up, probably a few points better on release. You can’t win ‘em all. Meh.
I got this for $16, apparently full retail is $39, which approaches criminal. Too bad, I’ve enjoyed their Cabernets in a number of vintages.
