In the tradition of the great Sauternes, this is a wine crafted from fully botryised Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc fruit, then rested in oak. It's rich lushness will enhance the denouncement of any meal or special occasion.
The seriously endowed, light gold-colored 2000 Chardonnay Mt. Harlan exhibits a reticent but promising nose of poached pears, acacia flowers, and sweet honey. Crisp, with more minerality than the Central Coast Chardonnay in addition to a brioche/leesy component, a good texture, and a fine finish, this medium to full-bodied white should drink well for 3-4 years. Barrel samples of the 2002s were all impressive. 90 Points RMP
This golden wine features a mouth-watering array of bold, tropical fruit flavors with a slight hint of hay. Described by wine critic Anthony Dias Blue with one simple word: “Yum!” If you think Grace Kelly exuded class and sophisticated on the big screen, the 2005 Sauvignon Blanc “Sesquipedalian” will knock your patrician socks off. 90 Points (WE).
