Slightly hazy (it’s unfiltered) straw gold. Abundant nose of ripe guava and cantaloupe with a hint of must. Palate yields guava, lime rind, balsam, eucalyptus, with layers of other tart flavors wrapped in a medium body and supported by a backbone of medium acidity. Finish is medium and lush. My kind of SB! Just enough oak, fruit, and acidity with complexity that’s led by none. Roasted or sautéed poultry or a fancy white-fleshed fish (Bronzino, trout) will pair nicely as will game fowl and lighter cuts of red meats. Drink now through 2024.
