Marked by hints of beeswax, dried grasses and pencil shavings on the nose, the citrus-tinged 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Illumination is perhaps just starting to dry out a bit. It's still medium to full-bodied, plump, rounded and lush, but a slightly bitter, grapefruit pith-like note emerges on the finish.

This is fresh yet dense with layers of beautiful fruit that deliver gorgeous sliced lemons and green apples. Medium to full body. Nice phenolic tension that gives it a creamy texture. Drink now.
