For mig er det den bedste Sauvignon Blanc fra Napa. Modnet i en blanding af hovedsageligt brugte franske barriques, ståltanke, amfora, keramik og beton. Ekspressiv og alligevel så vidunderligt harmonisk afbalanceret. Grapefrugt, citron, gult æble med et forfriskende spark af mynte og salvie. Saftig fersken og et strejf af mango i munden. Forfriskende med salt grafitmineralitet. En klasse for sig selv! Ligesom en Sancerre af denne kaliber kan den sagtens ligge et par år i kælderen. Den er helt i top!

Suckling om: Sauvignon Blanc

Rich in fresh herbs, citrus and crisp melon aromas, with plenty of fruit and freshness. All barrel fermented, using about half steel barrels and half oak barrels. With great acidity and linearity, it tastes tangy but full on the palate. Drink now or hold.

Wine Spectator om: Sauvignon Blanc

Powerful, with a succulent, fragrant mix of peach, grilled lemon and pineapple flavors that show details of lemon verbena, lemon balm, beeswax, orange blossoms and litsea oil. Seamless and harmonious all the way through the long, impressive finish. Drink now.

Galloni om: Sauvignon Blanc

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeous. Creamy, layered and vibrant, the 2023 is wonderfully vibrant from start to finish. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint and tomato leaf all race across the palate. The 2023 was fermented in a combination of French oak, stainless steel drums, cement eggs and amphorae. I especially admire its mid-palate texture and overall balance.
