Not a huge Sauv Blanc drinker, but this was impressive. Ripe citrus fruits--grapefruit, lemon oil, and just a touch grassy. Great density and concentration with weighty mouthfeel. Still seems to be on the upswing with further room to integrate, but definitely in a nice spot at the moment.

Dinner at Triple Crown (Chicago, IL): Very impressive for sauvignon blanc; this doesn't have the oily thickness of Vatan but it does have the same fruity intensity. The green is more an accent than a prominent quality, and there is impressive weight and density on the palate.

Pale straw color. Attractive aromas of melon and honey. Medium-light body, medium acid. Very sweet melons blended with eucalyptus but a touch of syrupiness on the finish. Very nice.
