  PnP chilled with 15 mins glass time. Clear, bright med. straw color. Muted nose at first with proper med/body nose after an hour. My last of 3 bottles purchased in 2018. Each time a point better and this was truly exceptional. Beautiful balance and integration of classic SB fruit profile with just a touch of oak, pineapple and assorted citrus. Amazing structure and intense acidity with a huge finish that lasted forever. Absolutely super clean and not even close to over the top, a testament to fine wine making. Definitely CA but not heavy, fat, tired or extracted. Wish I had another case. Nothing off. $26. 93-94

  I didn’t want to believe it, but Bob can sure make a Sauvignon Blanc to rival the best in Loire!
  On the nose is freshly swathed Hay, Peach and Magnolia. The taste is even better!
  Had this in my cellar for too long, and happy it tasted this fresh!

  From Mondavi’s great To-Kalon Vineyard in Oakville (where Cabernet sells for 10 times the price), this is one of the finest Sauvignon Blancs in California. As well as the most historic. People forget that it was Mondavi’s Sauvignon Blanc from this vineyard – which he renamed Fumé Blanc – that kicked off his illustrious career.

  Updated tasting note. Not sure why this bottle was distinctly better than my previous taste, but it was lovely on the nose and palate and paired great with grilled swordfish seasoned lemon pepper. The hallmark citrus and peach aromas had a flinty edge while pear matched up with the white peach flavors on my palate. Creamy on the medium length finish was balanced nicely with the acidity.
