  I finally reorganized my cellar and found this one. Although it is a bit older, it still drinks incredibly well.
  
  Very balanced acidity initially that subdues quickly to reveal a prolonged stone fruit finish. Pear and green apple notes as expected.

  Melon – cantaloupe – on the Nose. Not as aromatically-expressive as the 2018 Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc that immediately preceded this wine in the tasting. Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. Somewhat creamy, likely owing to the barrel-aging regimen this saw (aged for 1.5 years in oak, 15% new). 13.3% alc. not noticeable. This is "soft" compared to the '18 Happy Canyon bottling, which I do prefer over this barrel-aged bottling.
