I don't like a lot of Napa SB; but this wine is an exception. Fresh green herbs and citrus (lemon, orange peel) on the nose. Great vegetal stuff on the palate to compliment those flavors, as well as some yellow apple, pear gooseberry and hops. The palate is overall richer and fruitier than the nose. Medium + body, pretty good acid. Refreshing.

A crisp, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, one of my favorite wines Grgich Hills produces. Very very pale yellow with a light green rim and clear in the glass. Honeysuckle and wet stone lead the bouquet, with a nice green pepper note coming through as well. Refreshing and crisp on the palate with a surprisingly long finish. 92/100

Served a bottle as a first bottle of white, with other whites for the meal, and had to grab and serve another bottle of the Essence. This 2019 is remarkably drinkable. We have found the Essence from Grgich to be a bit hit or miss each year, but this vintage is the best we have tasted in several years.
