Cool climate Sauvignon Blanc, with great acidity and aromatics, both brought into an elegant expression with a small amount of oak and barrel fermentation in the mix. The initial impression is herbal and stony, with creamy texture carrying the flavors and driving the fruit components into being in the finish. Lemon, lime, sweet oak spice and a fresh lime zest touch linger well together, and the herb and mineral tones stay in play. Very nicely done!
