Year after year, Oyster Bay makes good, solid SBs, and the 2014 is no exception. It's remarkably pale, but the usual flavour is certainly there, however unremarkable, with passion fruit and guava, along with lemon and stone fruit, and there's a very light spritz that makes the whole thing seem almost ethereal. But there's also just a general shallowness to the flavour, the fruit lacking depth and giving way quickly to minerality, which is fine if also shallow. Overall, pleasantly crisp but also muddled, a decent, no-nonsense wine for summer refreshment.
