| Description: | 94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc bursts from the glass with notes of lemon tart, key lime pie and orange blossoms with nuances of acacia honey, baking bread, fresh grapefruit and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, the palate has fantastically intense citrus and mineral notes, framed by great freshness and a silken texture, finishing very long and perfumed. (lpb) (11/2019) 93 points James Suckling. A very aromatic white with notes of gooseberries and currant leaves. Fresh green apples. Crispy, but balanced with limes and lemons, as well as some crushed stones. Fresh and fruity on the finish. Lively. A benchmark. (2/2020) 92 points Wine Spectator. Lemon meringue, spice and grapefruit flavors reveal whiffs of lanolin and spice lingering in the background, as well candied ginger and floral details. Balances focus and intensity, with a light body and fresh, juicy acidity. (mw, Web Only-2019) 91 points Wine Enthusiast. This wine opens in a nutty flourish of earthiness and floral apple blossom before exposing complex waves of Meyer lemon, green apple and fig. Intensely high toned, it is crisp and dry, with plenty of bite and texture. (vb) (10/2019) 90 points Vinous. The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is a pretty, soft white with lovely textural depth that adds raciness to the green, grassy Sauvignon flavors. The balance of aromatics, fruit depth and freshness makes the 2018 very easy to drink and enjoy. A Riesling-like white floral note lends an element of exoticism. The Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of Napa and Sonoma fruit. (ag) (1/2020) K&L Notes. Winemaker's notes: "We approach the creation of our Sauvignon Blanc with the aim of crafting a wine that is as structured and cerebral as it is dynamic and tantalizing for the senses. This is an incredibly high bar for this noble grape, to which we give the greatest respect. To achieve this goal, our 2018 Sauvignon Blanc was sourced from iconic vineyards in Napa Valley including Stagecoach and Hyde Vineyards and from Farina Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain, along with fruit from Spottswoode Estate. To preserve the integrity and individuality of each site, the wines were fermented in a combination of oak and stainless steel barrels, a clay amphora and three different sizes of concrete egg. The result is a cellar-worthy treasure that is both stately and sublime, with dazzling aromas, effortless poise and remarkable complexity.". |
