A glowing review on the Squire’s Message Board by Robert Parker led me to buy a 3-pack of this wine to try. To echo Parker’s review, this does have a lot of melon, tropical fruit and pineapple nuances on the palate. The finish has a touch of greasiness (a trait I find in Bordeaux Blancs more than NZ or CA Blancs), but is very racy and lingering. Fans of powerful racy Sauvignon Blancs should seek this out. This is the most powerful one I’ve had to date. Give it a try with some sort of pineapple and shrimp recipe. 91

I have 2 bottles left and would be willing to trade with any interested Chicago Forumites.
