As much as I liked this wine I’m passing. I tend to crush these types of wines like kool-aid on a hot day. Last 3 pack we finished almost inside of a weekend.

Or you can look at it as $120 per bottle and free shipping 
I passed this year as well. Full cellar and value issue at this level.

Order in. Not sure if I’ll be a return customer as the price is up there for these whites. But had to give it a shot.

Yep, there’s so much $20-30 Sauv blanc at local wine stores and I don’t tend to cellar and savor it like the cabs, pinots, sparklings, rhone whites etc.

I can tell you their SB outperforms those retail store 20-30 SBs by a mile imo.

Absolutely agree. Comparing a $20-30 at your local wine store is like comparing a Camry to a Ferrari.
These wines need a few hours of air to really shine, but PnP isn’t a huge issue either.
Not saying $110/bottle isn’t verging on the land of too expensive, but these are absolutely worth it, IMO. The blend is absolutely stellar.

I passed as well. These are great wines but I prefer Realm Fidelio at around a similar price point.
I agree Realm Fidelio is great as well. I consolidated my SB buying to just KE, Realm, and now MOWE. Definitely dont miss MOWE!

I had the SB at a tasting with Nigel this Summer and loved it. It was at the end of a great day of tastings. I definitely wanted to order a 3 pack to see if it was the wine or the day speaking and look forward to sharing it soon with good friends to find out. Then I can decide whether it remains an annual purchase but I wanted a good revisit as I loved it the first time

I’m passing on these because I already have too much wine on it’s way or already on the racks but a big part of me wishes I hadn’t passed…
I definitely have too much wine as well haha

Totally agree, and I’d put it way above estate and OV Rochioli SB I used to buy every year. But I’ll get a lot more satisfaction out of an $85 (over $100 shipped) bottle of the varieties I noted above. Expensive SB doesn’t really make sense to me but it is what it is. At the same time who am I kidding(?), if I didn’t buy the KE/Aberro chenin I’d probably be all over this, but spending habits have changed drastically as well as well as overall consumption.

Understood. And i didnt buy the KE chenin this time. Prioritozation.
Debated on pulling the trigger on these as well due to cost but in the end took a 3 pack. Opened a couple 22’s this year and they’re certainly a well made wine but felt an extra gear was missing at such a young age.
Planning to cellar future bottles like I do Bordeaux whites and let them develop some complexity.

Supposedly the 23 KE is better than the 22. Ill pop one early just to see!
