This shows lots of fresh pears and green apples, as well as hints of lemons and a sherbet undertone. Shimmer of flavors with a medium body and a creamy texture. Fruity and delicious. Drink now.

Looking first at the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, this is an outstanding example of the variety and has a fresh, clean profile as well as classic notes of lemongrass, citrus, and leafy herbs. It’s medium-bodied, balanced, and certainly delicious.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This comes from vineyards in St. Helena, Rutherford, Yountville, Oak Knoll and Gordon Valley. It fermented in stainless steel and 5% new/used barrels without malolactic and aged eight months sur lie. The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc contains a splash of Sémillon and 20% Musqué clone. It jumps up and begs to be sipped, with lively lemon juice, fresh pears and lime leaves scents plus wafts of chalk dust and white pepper. Medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing, it has a compelling intensity of citrusy flavors and a zesty finish. (LPB)

Vinous
The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is a fruity, floral and easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. The 2018 is marked by a very distinctive Riesling-like quality, especially in its aromatics. (AG)
