Straw colored. 14.5% ABV. Pretty nose of stone fruits, green apple and freshly cut grass. Medium body with exquisite acidity. Bright, crisp and refreshing. Pear, apple, baking spices and minerals on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Absolutely delicious year in and year out. Look for the Old Vines if you want to try the pinnacle of CA Sauvignon Blanc. Otherwise, it is hard to go wrong here. Drink this summer…
