98 Points

Friday, August 27, 2010 - Despite its youth, easily the best Sauvignon Blanc I've had, and one of the most profound white wines I've encountered. Light yellow-gold color announces its elegance but belies its weight. Almost contradictory virtues of lithe grace and dense concentration. The most striking quality is its minerality, notable on the nose and palate. Dense pear, grapefruit, lime, green apple are foiled by crisp acidity. This was the first time my wife and I raced through a bottle to prevent the other from getting an extra glass. Complex and harmonious, one of the most perfect wines I've ever drunk.
