I will keep this very short… when the distributor dropped off a sample… and we opened it (duh)… our first step was emailing him, “How much you got?” (Yeah, our grammar is bad. I know.)

The answer was… 9 cases. That’s it? 9 cases? What am I going to do with 9 cases?

Well, I’m going to offer it to a handful of people until it sells out. It’s more work for me, but you are worth it! This is just delicious stuff!

“This is an outgoing, fruit-forward Sauvignon from one of Australia's most well-known duos. It bursts with ripe peach, lime blossom and honey. Crunchy acidity balances a silky texture, and the long limey finish makes taking another sip an easy endeavor. Knock back beside a sizzling seafood barbecue. “ WE

“Typically it shows a pink grapefruit character, concentration and mid-palate texture, which reflect the carefully selected sites and hand harvesting during the small window of perfect ripeness. The 2019 has intensity of flavour and is particularly bright, fresh, and balanced. “ winery note
