Pale color with a mild grassy nose. On the mid palate the wine displays some nice smooth grassy notes to match the nose. On the medium length finish the wine displays some nice smooth crisp acidity. This is a nice smooth, well made, food friendly sauv blanc. Not as boisterous as some. I would give it an 88 or so. We paired it with seared ahi tuna and it went very well.
