Distinctive for its pretty peach, vanilla, and cinnamon aromas and flavors. Drinks rich and ripe, round and full-bodied, with a long, clean finish.

Fermented in stainless steel, this young white retains the freshness and fruity vitality of the high-quality grapes from its home vineyard. Acidity really is the key, highlighting the citrus, fig, melon and vanilla flavors that shine so brightly. This is really a wonderfully drinkable, Sancerre-like Sauvignon Blanc.

A lovely Sauvignon Blanc, tart and bone dry, with a bite of citrusy acidity that cleanses the palate. It carries pleasant flavors of Meyer lemons, limes, pink grapefruit and vanilla.

A grassy, citrusy, figgy style, with some richness and complexity. Has strong lemon-and-lime and herbal flavors. A zesty, zingy wine, clean and refreshing.

A very nice wine due to its good varietal character and clean, refreshing quality. Virtually oakless, its citrus, hay, and melon notes shine through. It's dry and tart enough for oysters or clams, and almost anything with goat cheese.

A rich, polished Sauvignon Blanc that’s dry and spicy, with long, deep flavors of grilled pineapples, peaches, green apples and figs. Nice with charcuterie and onion rings.

I wish this Gewürz had more intensity to the fruit, because even at this everyday price, it’s a little watery on the finish. The dry flavors, framed by crisp acids, suggest gingersnap cookies, figs, cinnamon-spiced apple sauce and vanilla. One wonders if limiting yields would result in a better wine, which could be sold at a higher price.
