The 2006 Sauvignon Blanc Georgia, which comes from the cool climate vineyard of Farella in the Coombsville area of southern Napa, offers scents of crisp honeyed grapefruit, crushed rocks, white currants, quince, and melons. Medium to full-bodied, dry, and zesty, it will be a delicious match with many different cuisines. Moreover, it should be very ageworthy based on the fact that the 2002 (the debut vintage) is still drinking beautifully. Robin Lail, one of the top women of the Napa wine scene, is also the daughter of the legendary John Daniel, who did so much to raise the image of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Lail and her winemaker, Philippe Melka, were among the first to recognize the potential of a Bordeaux-styled, barrel-fermented and aged Sauvignon Blanc. Aged 18 months in French wood, this Sauvignon is totally different from the overtly fruity styles so prevalent elsewhere. Lail’s Sauvignon is a serious effort with the texture of a white Burgundy and the aromas of a white Bordeaux. In both 2006 and 2007, the flagship wine, the J. Daniel Cuvee, is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, from the estate’s own vineyard on Howell Mountain as well as purchased fruit, usually from the Vine Hill Vineyard in Yountville. Production in both vintages is just under 1,000 cases.Tel. (707) 968-9900; Fax (707) 968-9911
