Skin-contact Sav Blanc. Starts fruity, with air gets like ultra ripe fruit and spices. Funky. Good find to store for a while and bust out in the winter when you’re vibing for white.

It’s not often that I get excited by California Sauvignon Blanc, but this one is full of character & worth going out of your way for. From one of the oldest sauv blanc vineyards in the state (dry-farmed, organic) on Sonoma Mountain. Heavy on the orchard fruit: green apple, pear, with some Meyer lemon and a touch of green papaya and lemongrass. Neutral oak elevage softens the rough edges. Great food pairing wine - though would expect no less from chefs-turned-winemakers. I really like what these guys are doing at MDC.
@Delectable Wine not the Reserve skin contact version but the standard SB (but the orange version is also excellent)
