Napa Valley, California, USA
Pale lemon in color with golden hue.
Strong nose of gooseberries, limes, grapefruits, herbs, green apples, light wood, spices, earth and light minerals.
Full-bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, grapefruits, green apples, vegetables, spices, bitter herbs and white pepper.
Tangy finish with limes and spices.
This is a very enjoyable Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. Rich, complex and elegant. Showing lots of earth notes, which surprised me a bit.
Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years and see how it evolves.
A good food wine that I paired with an Italian seafood pasta dish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes were aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 11 months. A small production of only 15 barrels.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$50.
