Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2013

(75% sauvignon musque and 25% sauvignon blanc; bottled the week before my visit): Good bright green-tinged yellow. Expressive, very fresh aromas and flavors of quince, guava, lime and almond, plus notes of underripe pineapple and minerals. Generous, layered and full in the mouth, conveying a captivating floral perfume. Finishes chewy and slightly phenolic, with dusty grapefruit pith and mint nuances. An excellent cooler vintage for this wine.

The 2012 Sauvignon Blanc is a revelation. Fresh, vibrant and super-expressive, the 2012 shows how compelling Sauvignon can be in Napa Valley. Lemon oil, mint, white pepper, sage and mint abound. The 2012 is beautifully perfumed, fresh, and above all else, timeless. What a wine!
