Great example of Sauvignon Blanc - light on its feet, mineral packed, exhibiting a bouquet of lemongrass, white pears, underripe grapefruit, white pepper, jasmine, and a zip of acidity to brighten it up.

The mouth feel Reminds of a very light bodied Chardonnay in some ways but has that citrusy Sauvignon Blanc kick. I think I like it a lot?

First dinner with Duszaks and brought as sister wine. ASB but distinctly different profile although still varietal similarity that's more fruit and acids with a lift on finish. A lighter wine on its feet than Reverdy and also a terrific wine. Also did not pair perfectly but did reasonably well.

Love the bouquet on this wine and the minerality on the tongue. Light body, balance of acidity and sweetness. I did guess that it was higher in alcohol than it actually was!

Beautiful crisp and fresh. Fabulously paired with a smoked salmon.
