this is every bit the equal of, if not even a bit better than, the outstanding 2005 novelty hill sauvignon blanc. here is the same mix of racy, bracing tropical and stone fruit flavors, nicely matched to toasty flavors of almonds and biscuits. elegant, detailed and ripe, yet clearly varietal, this is a beautiful, seductive example of barrel-fermented washington sauvignon blanc.
