this is a waxy, rather soft rendition of sauvignon blanc, and the pretty fruit flavors mix grapefruit, citrus and pineapple. there is very little suggestion of sauvignon blanc's herbal or grassy side; the grapes seem to have been ripened past that point, though not all the way to california-style, tropical fruit flavors. all in all this is a well-crafted, smooth and flavorful wine, with a portion barrel-aged for extra complexity.
