Community Tasting Note
La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine:
Friday, October 20, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): Light yellow in color but not light with respect to intensity, this blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Gris offers a bouquet of white flowers, Meyer lemon, coconut, stone fruits and vanilla. Medium-bodied, vibrantly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic and with flavors mirroring the nose, it delivers richness but does not relinquish its excellent tension. Aging in 50% new oak gives the wine dimension but does not overpower the fruit or floral elements. Beautifully dense on the mid-palate, it goes on to finish with impressive length. This has the fruit and structure to show well for at least another decade. Drink now-2027.
