2018 Sinegal Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes:  On the nose, aromas of white peach and ripe honeydew melon, are intertwined with notes of delicate orange blossom and lightly caramelized crème brûlée. Subtle hints of mint leaf and wet stone can also be found lingering in the background. On the palate, racy flavors of green apple, grapefruit and lime zest awaken the taste buds. As the wine opens up, subtle flavors of lemongrass and honeycomb combine with brioche, as the sur lie ageing becomes evident. In its youth, the bright acid and exotic nose shine through, but with time more complex flavors and aromas will develop making for a truly memorable wine.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "Shows a tropical hint, with coconut custard notes peeking out around the edges of the lemon meringue, honeysuckle and poached pear flavors, adding richness and complexity. Juicy and supple, delivering elegance and harmony on the long finish. Drink now. "


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is made up of 52% Sauvignon Blanc, 45% Sauvignon Musqué and 3% Sémillion. It features beautifully intense notes of lemon curd, yuzu and pink grapefruit with touches of wild thyme, lime blossoms and chalk dust. Medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing, the palate possesses plenty of vivacity and a good, long mineral-laced finish. "
