Wow, a totally different take on sauvignon blanc. Relates to a standard Napa sauvignon blanc in a similar way that a Dagueneau relates to a standard Pouilly-Fume. Hugely interesting mix of citrus peal and tea notes, great complexity, and just plain fun. The kind of wine you call the winery the next day to see how to get on any lists they may have.

Wow - perfectly cellared (from Massican), it was mind-bending to realize how youthful this shows at 9 years of age! I look forward to seeing where it is at in a few more years.
