Tasting Notes

Pale gold in color with a trace of green. Opens with a fresh nose with mineral “pebble” notes and lemony, finely herbaceous (fresh mint) accents. On the palate the wine is fresh and elegant. The lemony aromas discerned in the nose are confirmed and accentuated by a beautiful mineral freshness, leading to a clean, crisp finish. All the hallmarks of a great Sauvignon are present in this signature vintage.
