Confidence is required to name a Sauvignon Blanc “Essence” and price it at $72, but this finished product meets these challenges. It hits a near perfect balance point between varietal intensity and a more mannered profile. Aromatic and flavor notes span the Sauvignon spectrum running from citrus to melon fruit notes, with alluring but subtle herbal and mineral accents. This measures up to the best renditions of the variety from anywhere in the world.
