The 1990 Cuvee Speciale, a 67% Sauvignon Blanc/33% Semillon blend, is even better than the tasty 1990 Sauvignon Blanc from this fine producer in Ventura County. It exhibits more richness in the nose, and a discernable scent of melon. In the mouth, there is a honeyed texture, as well as spicy, fruity, fig-like, elegant flavors. The finish is long, crisp, and clean.
