"(The pH here is just 3.0, owing to the cool late-season weather): Very pale straw-yellow. Rich scents of ripe pear, grapefruit pith and stone fruits, plus a whiff of spice from a portion of fermentation in oak. Nicely rich, sweet, fruit-driven Sauvignon Blanc with firm buffering acidity and a steely nuance to its flavors of lemon drop and orchard and stone fruits. Concentrated and seamless for the category, offering a leesy nuance and a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity. Projects sweeter fruit than the 2015 version but also the greater flavor development and energy associated with the cooler late-season weather. A substantial and successful Sauvignon with good grip."
