Go Georgia! bit rustic & simplistic but enjoyable, juicy lively lot of acidity w/this varietal - had a bit of that squirrelliness but ultimately behaves itself. dark fruit & flavors, herbaceous, lot of flavors packed into a neat lil package — 5 days ago

Full disclosure, I really don’t embrace Sauvignon Blanc. There are 2-3 that I really like and this one tops the chart.

$175 for an SB is ridiculous, but got this on the secondary market for $75. It is really good but definitely not worth $175.

Excellent with this dish. When I remember most SB’s, they would not pair with peaches. However, this with its age shows 1/2 elegant SB & 1/2 White Burgundy. Perhaps, that is why I like it so much.

There is not the typical cat pee & heavy cut grass with this bottling.

The nose shows; stone fruits, marmalade, kiwi, pineapple flesh, lemon, lime, softly, understated cut grass, frothed whole milk w/ yellow flowers.

The palate is full, lush & little waxy like a White Burgundy. Nice viscosity. It is gorgeous. Stone fruits, marmalade, kiwi, pineapple flesh, lemon, lime, underripe cantaloupe, honeycomb, touch of caramel-butterscotch notes, softly, cream, understated cut grass, gritty chalkiness with grippy volcanic minerals, gentle, white spice, yellow flowers & white spring flowers, very, round acidity, gorgeous; tension, structure, balance & flat out elegant finish that last two-minutes and lands on white spice.

This is the better pair than the 2012 Gimonnet SC Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay. — 2 months ago

This is a delight and drinking gorgeously. Reminds me of sitting at a cafe in Tibilisi years ago. A good memory i’ve been chasing for almost a decade. Strong dark red color with dried cherries, leather, and chocolate on the nose. Structure is great, the tannins are not too intense and acidity is just right. Prunes and spice, a little earth. Rich. — 2 years ago
