"Pale, green-tinged yellow. Very rich, deep scents of mirabelle, white peach, lemon and nuts, plus a faint suggestion of butterscotch. Wonderfully rich, suave and deep but also boasts serious energy, definition and structure, not to mention subtle sweetness to its lightly tropical fruit flavors. This densely packed wine has already picked up a bit of umami creaminess of texture. As in so many past vintages, the SĂ©millon component dominates in the early going. An outstanding vintage for this bottling; in fact, it reminded me of the 2010 version in its superb length and grip. (14.1% alcohol; 3.21 pH; 6.7 grams per liter total acidity expressed as tartaric acid; 60% new oak)."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
Prized both for age-worthy dry whites and, when affected by noble rot, the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It offers waxy texture and honeyed depth.
