Wow. This is still showing so well. When stored properly, and thanks to a kiss of oak, a Sauvignon Blanc from Napa can age. Moderate dark marmalade, lemon curd, fresh cut flowers. A bit of honeyed yellow apple and yellow pear. Lemon peel. Great complementing richness paired with freshness and lift of the finish. Really enjoyable.

Golden straw color, darker than most sauv blanc. Sweet hints on the nose with mellon, pear, and caramel. Peach and appricot flavors with good acidity and a nice, lingering finish. Fruit is fading a bit, so probably time to drink up.
