Deep golden hue with tinges of brown. Aromas of baked pear, honey, and almond. Medium bodied with good acidity finishing with some phenolic bitterness. Michael Scorsone crafted this terrific wine from 100% Sauvignon Blanc fermented on the skins. Would drink now as it’s quite oxidized at this point. 13.5% ABV. $35.

Love this wine. It's made differently than any other Sauv Blanc I've ever had. They ferment it with skins so it shows so many more complex flavors than most. Given how it's made, I think it will age nicely. Will keep a couple bottles to drink a few years down the road.

If you think Sauv Blanc is boring, this one will prove you wrong.
