Asatsuyu Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc From Napa Valley. Well balanced and fruit forward. Crisp and refreshing.
This 4 year old is good right out of the bottle. Not bitter not tart, just the way I like it. A great sipping wine.

Nice! Tropical notes, smooth. Just a kiss of oak for texture.

18’ Kenzo Asatsuyu SB. Honeysuckle, peach, abundance of citrusy notes, key lime pie. Shinning through with a splash of zesty ginger & rock. Prior vintages had just a touch of oak. 
Not quite as good as the last 3 vintages. At $80 🤷🏻♂️

May 15th, 2018A fascinating and little-known brand owned by Kenzo Tsujimoto, who purchased 3,800 acres along the slopes of Mt. George in the late 1980s. Kenzo Estate wines are the result of a collaboration between winemaker Heidi Barrett of Screaming Eagle and legendary viticulturalist David Abreu, the wines are almost exclusively exported to Japan, and they sport an impressive price tag. This half bottle of 2013 Asatsuyu Sauvignon Blanc sells for a mere $95.00, if you can find it. Nuanced aromas of guava, underripe pineapple and peach pit give way to an attack that is surprisingly round and full. For me, the most intriguing aspect of this wine is how much it narrows it's focus at the finish, one that is interlaced with classic Sauvignon Blanc herbaceousness and chalky minerality.

A 10 second swirled of the glass, you can smell...citrus,floral, minerals...6 inches from the glass. On the front & middle palate, I get kiwi, honeydew. Middle & back of the palate have an abundance of floral notes, with light and crisp acidity.# Can't miss
