This is a "Great" wine. Sauvignon Blanc , mostly, Very old vines, all-natural ferments and extended sur lees barrel aging. 05 is now 9 years old! Full bodied and focused , nutty and fresh, layered and seamlessly textured. Probably at its peak today and singing.... From a very good cellar.

My first thought when I pulled this 11 year old Sauv Blanc out of the locker was that I was probably five to seven years too late. Boy, was I wrong. Instead of golden, it was still light to medium straw color. Nose and palate were a bit subtle with lemon and peach, but still good acidity and minerality. A mouth watering glass of wine. I'd look for more, but with about 17 cases produced that may be a tough task. Sadly, the 60+ year old Sauv Blanc vines were only producing about 30-50 gallons of juice per year and have since been pulled.
