Note di degustazione
One of the top whites in the vintage, the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Howell Mountain is 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Semillon aged in equal parts new French oak, once-used barrels, and concrete tanks. Awesome caramelized grapefruit, lime, sappy herbs, and floral notes emerge from this Haut-Brion Blanc look-alike, which is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully balanced. It’s going to evolve for two decades in cold cellars.

The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Estate is a blend of 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Semillon, aged for 11 months in one-third new French oak, one-third once-used barrels and one-third concrete. It springs from the glass with vibrant scents of white peaches, grapefruit and underripe pears with hints of honeysuckle, chalk dust and yuzu. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with citrus and stone fruit layers plus a crisp backbone and satiny texture, finishing long and chalky. 550 cases were made.
