More classic in style, yet still a ripe, rich effort, the 2012 Sauvignon Blanc Grassini Family Vineyard has plenty of peach, mint and citrus blossom in its medium-bodied, balanced and textured profile. As with the Vogelzang Vineyard, it stays nicely balanced, has nicely integrated acidity and a clean, beautifully focused finish. Drink it over the coming year.
This is a beautiful set of new releases from Dragonette, and they excelled with both their Pinot Noirs and Rhone blends.
