| TASTING NOTE: The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc opens with a waft of sulfides/struck match and crushed stone notes over lemon zest and yuzu, plus a hint of elderflower. Light to medium-bodied, elegant and pure, it finishes long and wonderfully minerally. Drink Date: 2016-2019. Score - 90 (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
