Grgich Hills Estate, Fumé Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc), Napa Valley, California 2018 375ml

On the front palate, the Grgich Hills Estate Fumé Blanc opens with notes of green apple, lemon grass and snap peas, where undertones of flint and minerals begin to develop. It exhibits a mouth­ watering freshness and structure on the attack, a great complexity on the mid-palate with fresh and tangy fruit characteristics and a linear and unwavering acid structure building the frame. It is a wine of enormous precision and minerality with a finish that evokes the crystal-clear serenity of an Alpine mountain stream on a cool summer morning.
