Unequivocally the white wine of the night from the Taste of Howell Mountain event in Dallas. Arkenstone is churning out some gorgeous wines and this Sauv Blanc is no different. The little bit of semillon works perfectly. Fresh squeezed honey, ripe grapefruit, and a phenomenal finish. What a Sauv Blanc!

Another excellent SB, served at close to ambient temp, which funnily enough assist with creating the aromatics.
The nose was so delicate and inviting (as was its appearance in the glass). I detected lemon and a hint of lime. Not sure if this wine sees oak, but I did detect woody overtones. I loved the expression on the palette. Hints of pineapple, honey and brioche mingle. It finishes with a zippy texture which is a wonderful final chapter.

13' Arkenstone Sauvignon Blanc. I just received this last week. I couldn't wait any longer. What sucks… I only have 11 left to drink! (I stole that line )
