  Nice mix of fruit & minerals, with the right amounts of acid & oak.

  A pale straw color. Crisp apple and lime aromas, orange blossom, honeysuckle, a striking amount of slate and minerals. Creamy and rich on the palate, but the acid cuts through with impressive power. Richer notes of apricot, honey and orange marmalade blend with elements of oyster shell, sea salt and minerals. Lots of concentration and depth here, this is a beauty of a Napa Sauv Blanc that refuses to fit in a stylistic box. Hourglass’ first shot with white wine, and they nailed it. This wine sees stainless steel as well as some new and old French oak.

  Vintage Portfolio Tasting (Drake Hotel Chicago): Acidity. Body. Some nice toast qualities. Really lovely. Highly recommended.
