Substance Vineyard Collection Sauvignon Blanc Sunset Vineyard 2017 (750ML)

93 JD / 91 JS / 90 WA

“With a neat reductive edge to the lime and gooseberry nose, this has plenty of funk on offer. The palate has a succulent and zesty feel, good concentration and just a gently creamy edge. Fermented in concrete and demi-muid barrels. Drink in the next four years.” - James Suckling

“From the Ancient Lakes AVA and all barrel fermented, the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Vineyard Collection is a drop-dead serious wine that has tons of reductive notes of crushed time, ozone, match stick, and white flowers. It’s medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and a killer wine. Either give it a healthy decant or at least another 6-12 months of bottle age.” - James Suckling

Starting with a touch of reduction, the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Sunset Vineyard has a lively core of citrus and citrus blossom on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate, the wine is minerally and expressive, with a light and focused note of fresh-citrus peel. It ends with great precision on the lingering finish, showing good value for the money. 1,500 cases produced. - AM, Wine Advocate
