Precocious and fresh, redolent of honeycomb-spiked alfalfa and white citrus blossoms. Tangerine and honeydew flirting on the nose. Pomace stone baseline.
👉🏻On the palate: Nice, brisk, lime-y acidity, with piquant minerality hovering over a jalapeño jelly soupçon. Padrones, vetiver and 7-Up. Lemongrass and musk. Smile.
👉🏻Finish lingers, in spite of the generally zippy nature of this one. Takeaway is confidence--in crafting a laser-focused but still fun Sauvignon, and a general craving for ceviche, beach breezes and long, unfettered afternoons.
