"The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is unoaked and comes in at 13.2% alcohol. This is a bring-on-da-funk Sauvignon, with plenty of those vegetal nuances that purists love and others rather hate. That said, it doesn't really go too far. It's green, but it doesn't make you wrinkle your nose. It adds appealing freshness and silky texture, plus reasonable concentration. The juicy finish is enticing and tasty. It's a lively Sauvignon with an invigorating feel to it, a perfect summer white that will wake you up in warm weather. Under screwcap, it may hold well for several years, maybe longer than indicated, but there is no reason to wait. For the record, it was even better the next day."
