Lobenberg: Von kühlen Weinbergen Sonomas und Napas. Sehr Pessac-Stilistik mit vorsichtigem Holzeinsatz, guter Wettbewerb in der Liga von Fieuzal Blanc. Spannend, frisch, vibrierend.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Illumination

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Coming from a mix of Sonoma and Napa fruit, the 2024 Illumination has a Bordeaux Blanc-like vibe in its ripe lime, orange blossom, mint, and spicy wood nuances. It brings plenty of sweet California fruit and is medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with bright acidity and a great finish. It's beautifully done and just an impeccable 100% Sauvignon Blanc from California. Drink bottles over the coming 3-4 years.

Colin Hay über: Illumination

-- Colin Hay: (Napa Valley and Sonoma County; 58% Sauvignon Blanc; 28% Sauvignon Blanc Musqué; 14% Sémillon; 14% alcohol). Very lifted and aerial. Glossy but with incredible vertical range. Dense and compact. Quite intense. Racy with lots of viscerally animating acidity. A little peach skin and peach kernel. White grapefruit. Passionflower. Lovely in its sapid juiciness.

Wine Spectator über: Illumination

-- Wine Spectator: Fragrant, effusive and charming, with notes of honeysuckle and orange blossoms up front giving way to a creamy mix of mango, orange sherbet and lemon curd. Spicy accents of candied ginger, litsea oil and salted, preserved lemon join a drizzle of wildflower honey and linger on the long, impressive finish. Drink now through 2036.

Decanter über: Illumination

-- Decanter: A multidimensional Sauvignon Blanc with both breadth and precision. Lime zest, lime blossom and tarragon laced with vanilla draw you in. Grapefruit, kumquat and crushed Marcona almonds thread through the first wave of flavours. Excellent medium-bodied concentration carries a penetrating core of pithy fruit, warming spice from barrel ageing, and a fresh, focused finish marked by a backbone of zesty acidity and tension. Hand-picked grapes are pressed with whole clusters, and the juice is native fermented in new and neutral French oak barrels, acacia barrels, and stainless steel barrels as well as egg-shaped concrete fermenters.
