Diamond Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
My last of a 3-pack purchased from a winery visit in 2021. While the prices of their wines have gone beyond my personal threshold (and Julie is no longer there), it remains one of my favorite winery experiences after 10+ visits to the valley.
I don’t often drink Sauvignon Blanc, but this has consistently been a favorite (though Mowe’s SB now holds that title). Structure and profile wise, this 2019 is still quite fresh. While acidity has always been there, my favorite quality of this wine on release was the more ripe/rounded profile (which is still prevalent today). Citrus, honeysuckle and mineral aromatics with a fresh vein of acidity. Herb crusted underripe tropical fruits with a nice waxy profile. Powerful. Enjoy now or in the semi-near future.

Probably one of the best SBs I’ve ever tasted! Such freshness and complexity, incredible finish.

Good wine. But for the price there are other really good SB out there.
