Served from a magnum. Color is slightly starting to brown but this is still exquisite and no noticeable signs of oxidations on the palate. I'd be a little more scared of a 750. Drink up.

Consumed from a magnum. I have (had) 2 magnums of this and both of them had developed some concerning color. I was afraid they were out of life or oxidized. To my surprise, this was very much in a beautiful spot. Nice textbook tropical fruits and a smoothness that only comes with age. I'd be worried about 750s being any good at this point, but this magnum was a pleasant surprise.

Golden in color. 14.1% ABV. Fantastic nose of stone fruits, green apples, grass and minerals. Medium body with acidity in spades. Pink grapefruit, mango and papaya on the palate. The finish is long and spicy. Always one of the best Sauvignon Blancs made in Napa Valley. Drink over the next 2-3 years.
