Wine Review: This clear and light hay colored Sauvignon Blanc with a good dose of Sémillon from Ehlers Estate opens with a fragrant yellow grapefruit and green pepper bouquet with hints of lemon tea. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, seamless, and fresh. The flavor profile is light grapefruit and gentle lime blend with notes of lemon verbena and saline. I also detected hints of green tea and touch of green bell pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger before drifting away. I would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with broiled halibut. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Wonderfully perfumed with citrus blossoms in jasmine green tea, fresh oysters, and sea spray. The demeanor is delicate but serious. In the mouth, it is at first deceivingly soft with a mineral-inflected acidity but then gains momentum, unfolding like scaffolding into a fine, saline structure layered with flavors of stone fruits, Bosc pear and lemon zest. The seemingly never-ending finish is saline, firm and still expanding, with suggestions of beeswax and lemon chiffon. If there exists a space between refinement and fun, this is it.
