I get the sense that this Sauvignon Blanc is still coming together – there is a little oak influence that’s still folding in, but it promises to do so in style. Lemon / lime zestiness is bright, and tropical notes and a dash of pepper make for a complex package that will be even more enjoyable with another six to twelve months of bottle age. Nicely done!
