"This barrel-fermented sauvignon shows wonderfully complex aromas of grapefruit, peach and dried herbs with subtly infused cedary oak complexity. It is concentrated and beautifully weighted on the palate, and delivers excellent fruit intensity backed by bright acidity. Lovely texture too. The wine offers varietal purity as well as stylish oak undertones. At its best now to 2020."

"Spicy peach blossom, dried mango and marmalade flavors have an edge of savory, toasted herb. Complex and aromatic on the refreshing finish. Drink now. 3,500 cases made."
