The 2008 Sauvignon is one of the more beautiful wines in this lineup. Expressive varietal aromatics meld into a ripe, generous core of fruit, showing exceptional balance. Today the wine comes across as slightly assertive in its aromatics, but that is most likely because of its recent bottling. Sweet, honeyed notes linger on the finish of this fairly fat Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. This is a beautiful set of new releases from the Schiopetto family. The 2008 whites are decidedly ripe and opulent, but also beautifully balanced.Importer: Vintus LLC, Pleasantville, NJ tel. (914) 769-3000
