Vineyard 29 Sauvignon Blanc Estate 2013 6-Pack OWC 750mL

The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Vineyard 29 Estate comes from their hillside vineyard and is 100% Sauvignon Blanc fermented in 100% new French oak, where it is aged for 20 months prior to bottling. There is no malolactic, and the wine, which has a light greenish hue to its straw color, is elegant with notes of mango, citrus oil, caramelized grapefruit, backed up by crisp acids, medium body, a layered and texturally alluring mouthfeel, and a long, zesty finish. This is a brilliant wine, with the oak pushed way to the background, which is interesting given the high percentage used.
