Light straw body with an odor reminiscent of cat pee (but not in a bad way!). Tastes with good balance and structure. Low acidity and clean grapefruit and melon predominate.

Quite a nice Sauv Blanc. Very good value for the money. Typical grapefruit notes, very good with food.

V12. Helena Bench, Knights Valley. Wow! Nice grapefruit and stone fruit bouquet . Crisp citrus and stone fruit flavors. Creamy, mineral finish. Best ever, bring on the oysters and crab!

Just this side of tutti frutti, but nice enough on a lazy Sonoma Saturday.

Very fruity. Good with seafood. Had it at King's Fish House on Valentine's Day

Over the top tropical bouquet. Super light bodied, incredibly bitter finish.
