This is the designated vineyard for the winery’s top Sauvignon Blanc, but here it is merely good, not great. Half barrel fermented, half stainless steel is the approach, but somehow the fruit seems a bit dried out compared with the other bottling. Dried peas and green apple flavors, perhaps a whiff of cardboard, show; overall it’s a stony, bone-dry wine despite the addition of 15% Semillon. ——P.G.(12/31/2006)—— 87
