Apple, grapefruit, lemon, slate, hay and stone fruit. Great acidity and minerality.

Pale-yellow color and fragrant aromas of tropical and citrus fruit with hints of garden spice. This is one of the few Sauvignon Blancs that are barrel-fermented, about 17% French/American oak, which adds a wonderful gentle toasty flavor. The palate shows fresh fruit flavors of peach, nectarine, lemon, and crisp apple, with the subtle earthy mineral tones. The wine has 6% Sémillon adding a smooth quality, with lively acidity on a medium length finish. Good value!

The surprise of the week. Beautifully held in check. Almost beckons to the Loire.

V14. Vibrant peach and citrus bouquet. Stone fruit and lime fruit. Dry crispy finish. Really good.

I like this. Green apples, lemon. Tart yet refreshing.
