One the nose; ripe pineapple, mango, lemon, guava, cut dry grass, notes of green beans and yellow florals. On the palate, nice dry style. Ripe pineapple, mango, lemon, lime zest, guava, cut dry grass, note of green beans, slight saline, good chalkiness, nice acidity and round, rich finish. Touch hot on alcohol. It otherwise nice.

Nose had a kitty litter, grass and gooseberry. Palate was richer than I expected.

Aromatics of passion fruit and pineapple. So exotic on the nose.

On the palette, white peaches pulsate with bright acidity. Tones of crushed rocks come along for the ride. Deftly sweet with an extended, almost creamy finish. Extravagant and revolutionary in the world of sauv blanc.

We were treated with an explosion of passion fruit, lychee and grapefruit.
Palete is consistent, vibrant and energetic. Finishes with moderate sweetness and a smidgen of yeast. Another wine that was introduced to us by
@David L. In my opinion, this is fast becoming a reference point in the SB world.

Beautiful as always.. Creamy for a sauv, unfiltered and awesome. Bright pineapple and grapefruit with a nice creamy zing.

One of my go-to SB's for the summer. Love the big tropical fruits. Russell is a stud in pretty much everything he touches. Down to my last couple of bottles of the '13 but it is still killing it

What a difference a year makes!
Just a beauty last night as a starter on a quite warm evening full of flavor and much nicer than a year ago - nice surprise😎

I am extremely HIGH on this wine! Definitely one of my top ten Sauvignon Blanc experiences of all time :-) There's layers of tropical fruit flavors surrounded by seductive creamy oak. How does one craft a California SB that tastes like a fine white Burgundy?? (Meursault comes to mind) I have no idea, but I just want to keep drinking it.

Kudos to the "Wild Man" R. Bevan and Victoria for making some of the best wines on the planet!
