Sinegal Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2019

Sinegal Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2019 This smaller production Sauvignon Blanc has a stunning floral bouquet with hints of citrus rind, kiwi and toasted crème brulee. The use of large format cigar-type barrels really shows through as the extra lees contact gives the wine a wonderful texture and long finish. Initially, the palate displays notes of lemon meringue pie, vanilla and honeycomb. On the finish, there is a wet stone minerality and vibrant acidity that lingers on the palate. With all of the nuance and textural components in this wine, it will surely age gracefully for many years but is dazzling and full of energy in its youth. Critical Acclaim 93 Jeb Dunnuck Incorporating 3% Semillon, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is a rockingly good white offering textbook notes of lemon zest, white grapefruit, melon, and honeysuckle. With a Bordeaux Blanc-like character, it's medium-bodied, has good concentration, high yet integrated acidity, and a clean finish. It's beautifully done and should evolve for 3-4 years or more, although there's no need to delay gratification. 92 Wine Spectator This white has wonderful precision to the lemongrass, pomelo, Key lime and Meyer lemon flavors on the seamless, sleek and juicy frame, with lingering details of vetevier, beeswax and lemon verbena.
