The LAST vintage from Mayacamas Sauv Blanc. What a shame as it's incredible. A fresh nutty nose with hit of dried pear. The taste is fresh but rich, complex but approachable. Time to find a bottle for my cellar!

A rare breed. Hard to find but worth it. Not unlike a young Mayacamas Chardonnay, the SB is bright and vibrant with a little weight behind it.

Beautiful mineral notes, with crisp white fruits and a hint of citrus flower. Very light color with just a hint of yellow greenery. Very dry and mineral driven palate, the best that you can expect from a high elevation sav blanc.

Prominent nose of lemon, lime rind, and even a little grapefruit, with just the tiniest hint of pastry like and mineral notes. Light bodied, with very light yellow/green color and a pleasant palate, with strong yellow/green citrus, and a lingering flavor of fresh lime, slight salinity, and an almost vegetal freshness to the finish. This shines as what sav blanc is capable of.
