Duckhorn has been making a great Sauvignon Blanc for 35 plus vintages, this one certainly included. A bit of Semillion and 10% new oak add richness and complexity to the fresh citrus, stone fruit and pineapple profile. It hits my crisp and creamy marker squarely, and finishes long with mild herbaceous notes adding interest. Lots of pairing possibilities here.
