it's interesting and a little odd that this 100% sauvignon blanc, from mondavi's heralded to kalon's great i block, already is showing signs of maturity, although it's only about three years old. the reserve to kalon, released more than a year ago, was fresh and fruity. this wine by contrast is beginning to show mushroom, herb and mineral complexities alongside the citrus fruits. it's a very fine wine, superior in structural integrity and bone dry, but it will separate wine lovers into opposing camps.
