Peach, melon and apple tart characters open up to a lovely silky mid-palate. The finish is lengthy and complex. Layers of jasmine, honeysuckle, ruby grapefruit and lime play perfectly with the oak and malo-lactic influences. This is a complex and remarkably ageable Sauvignon Blanc that can be enjoyed now through 2027 and beyond.
89% Sauvignon Blanc, 11% Semillon
Honig Description
The fruit is from select blocks of our sustainably farmed vineyard in Rutherford, Napa Valley. 63% of the blend was selected from lots that were fermented in stainless steel tanks, using up to six different yeast selections. The remainder of the blend was fermented in new, specially selected, French oak barrels and puncheons. The barrel fermented portion of the blend underwent a secondary (malolactic) fermentation. The final blend was assembled in early June 2023. Bottling took place on July 13-14, 2023.
James Suckling: 91 Points
A rather ripe nose of cooked lemons and beeswax with hints of baked apples. Medium to full body with fresh acidity and a mellow character throughout. Drink now.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Sauvignon Blanc spun with Semillon, fermented in a mix of stainless steel for verve and fresh acidity, and new French oak for an integration of spices and just enough richness. Aromas and flavors of white blossoms, mixed citrus, and tropical fruits are delivered by a creamy mouthfeel.
