Good pale color. Piquant aromas and flavors of gooseberry, grapefruit, minerals, flowers, mace and nutmeg, plus a resiny nuance. This dense, silky, ripe sauvignon combines generous texture with excellent inner-palate energy. A bit of smoky reduction today suggests that this wine will be better in 2008. Finishes pungent and very long, with palate-saturating material.
