2009 Sauvignon Blanc. The Mondavi 'I Block' (old vine to kalon) was superb and got more focused with time. The Lail Georgia was tropical from start to finish, with almost too much pineapple fruit and coconut (oak). Bias included, the 09 Albion was exceptional and cleared the flight save the slightly flabby nose. Freshness reigned supreme, particularly at 6 years young.
