Straw colored. 14.5% ABV. Pretty nose of stone fruits, apple and grass. Medium body with exquisite acidity. A lush mouthfeel that is so appealing and only something the best versions of this variety possess. Pear, green apple, lemon and minerals on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Absolutely sublime paired with a Shrimp Creole. Without question, one of the very best California Sauvignon Blancs. Best over the next several years.

Outstanding California SB! Definitely one of the best I have had. I think it is still young and wish I had cellared another couple years. I think it has another 5-6 years minimum left. Juicy and delicious with great acidity.

I like it although I could not identify a taste component if my life depended on it. I have fond memories of the first Sauvignon Blanc I ever had at their tasting room, it knocked me out and started a life-long love of the grape. This is not that great, but is enjoyable except for the $44 price tag. For that price tier I would rather drink Bevan Dry Stack.

From Rochioli Offer: These unique wines are from our oldest vineyard on our estate. Planted in 1959, this is one of the oldest known Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in California. With a production of only 2.4 tons per acre this is a focused and concentrated wine. Aromas of passion fruit and citrus with expressive mineral qualities combine with a very rich mouth feel and firm acidity. This wine has surprising aging potential. One hundred twenty two cases were bottled.-$48

PnP. Pale greenish gold. Class SB nose and flavors; not as well integrated as a 2016 drunk a few weeks ago but will be wonderful; already very good.
