NOSE: A very expressive and complex bouquet for a CA Sauv. Blanc: it has both the grassy thing and the crisp acidity thing going on, which impresses me because normally you get one or the other with Sauv. Blancs; secondary notes of musk melon and a hint of oak; with time, interesting aspects of lavender and liverwurst come forward.

BODY: clear; pale yellow color; medium bodied.

TASTE: a strong mid-palate attack starts you off with grassy bell pepper notes, but then gives way to essence of juniper berries on the long finish. Slightly hot, time to drink up.

B: 50, 5, 13, 16, 7 = 91
