December 2005
The zesty flavors of this Sauvignon bring Asian foods to mind. Its acidity tickles the tongue like shiso leaf; its firm, spicy fruit lasts with fresh lemon and lemon grass scents. Structured enough to mature for a year or two, but perhaps best now with Thai crab salad.

February 2006
A rich and potent Sauvignon Blanc, this one makes a deep and inviting varietal statement without ever giving into excess in the areas of greens or of ripeness. Instead, it is assembled so as to make an asset of its depth, and it accomplishes that not-so-easy feat through impeccable balance between its ripe, fig and pear fruit and its oaky aspect and balance in body and acidity. A bit of a grassy note creeps into the lengthy finish and suggests that it serve with herb-poached fish
