This really sneaks up on you, with laserlike focus to the blanched macadamia nut, honeysuckle, white peach and creamed yellow apple fruit flavors. Very sleek and restrained, with a long, stone-framed finish that's as pure as freshly fallen snow. Best from 2013 through 2023. –JM

Mittleres Gelb, lindengrüne Nuancen darin, leuchtend. Intensives, reifes Pfirsichbouquet, ein Hauch von Exotik und Mirabellen darin zeigend. Weicher Gaumen, viel Saft, bereits integrierte Säure, im Finale mit einem leicht grünlichen Aprikosentuch endend. Macht früh Freude.

Proprietor Paul Pontallier is pulling back considerably from the higher alcohol, fuller styles that he was producing as recently as 2007. I am not sure it is the best idea, but this is still a vivid, vibrant 100% Sauvignon, with loads of minerality and almost unbridled notes of grapefruit and white currants in a medium-bodied, crisp, somewhat tart style. Drink it over the next 20+ years.
