Light gold in color. 14.5% ABV. Super nose of stone fruits, citrus and slate. Rich and oily on the palate with laser like acidity. Flavors of peach, green apple and minerals. The finish is exceptionally long. One of the best Sauvignon Blancs from Rochioli in recent memory. Drink over the next 1-2 years.

This is an 89 point wine all day. It has a nice bouquet with good mouth feel and finish. Where it fails is with a bit too much alcohol and price. I think you can find every bit as good or better Sauvignon blanc for considerably lower price by looking to New Zealand. Does one really need an almost 15% alcohol, $30 Sauvignon blanc?
