Jen’s Notes

This wine was a refreshing and pleasant balance between the esoteric Cloudy Bay, and something fruitier and more accessible. It boasted intense aromas of grass/hay, key limes and wet rocks.

On the palate, the lime and minerality were evident, as well as a peppery spice. These flavors were anchored by an earthy base note that reminded me of Cloudy Bay's funkiness. However, I have to say I enjoyed this one a lot more, because of its refreshing and pleasant fruit. It finished long, with a creamy lemon flavor.

Drylands’ SB is delicious, complex, and a fantastic value!
