2018 Hamel Family Wines Sauvignon BlancSonoma Valley more |
1/21/2020 - CJC78 Likes this wine: 94 pointsNot sure how Sauv Blanc gets better. This is a shining example of a small production, high quality, biodynamic juice from Sonoma Valley. I believe this one is mostly steel tank, finished with some old oak. The nose is electric with pineapple, pear, grapefruit, and stones, and the palate is similar but with a bit more tart apple and some slight herbiness going on. Long finish, great acidity, amazing on a hot summer day (first time I tasted) or while cooped up in NYC winter with Mexican food (just did). Highly recommended. |
