The nose displays a very pretty ripe Ruby Red grapefruit and that follows through in the palate. The acidity is crisp but not overwhelming. The wine has a great mouth feel and nice balance. This is a lovely Sauvignon Blanc and a nice example of what the grape can do in California when it is well farmed, not over-ripe, and made in a balanced way.
