Great value! It has good acidity. It's fresh and grassy with citrus and mineral notes. The residual sugar isn't really coming through. It drink almost like a NZ Sauv Blanc. Had it with grilled shark, grilled veggies and mash. — 9 years ago

Disappointed. The wine was very sweet and overly fruity. There wasn't much acidity, earth or spice to balance it out. Reading the reviews here makes me wonder if I got a bad bottle :/ — 9 years ago

Excellent wine. Great value! Had it by itself. Very nice acidity, minerality and enough butter in the finish to bring balance. This wine is fresh, clean and citrusy. Pretty floral, grassy nose. — 9 years ago

Really good on its own, but it did not pair well with our dinner (Ragu) :/ Excellent right when you open it; fruity (fig, prunes) and leathery, medium to low acidity. Brown sugar/caramel on the finish. As it breathes, riper flavors predominate. — 10 years ago

Grassy, citrusy, floral, mineral and creamy. Delicious wine. Great balance. It reminds me of a cool-weather California chard that's been aged in neutral oak. Great value! — 9 years ago

This wine drinks almost like a Pinot: smooth tannins, smoky tones and enough acidity to balance it out. Excellent value from one of SB best. — 9 years ago

An excellent value of you like lighter, cleaner style chards. This is one of my go-to whites for casual dinners at home. — 10 years ago
