but subtle in its freshness

A wine of total grace and finesse

the still youthful-colored 1978 Hermitage la Chapelle exhibits an insane bouquet of sweet cassis

with a complex bouquet of pear

Araujo, Napa Valley, Eisele Vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc 2006 LOIRE LUXE but subtle in its freshnessRemoved from original carton tissue 93 Points CellarTracker pale gold; nose of honey, ripe (orange type of) melon,a little brioche; rich melon, ripe peach and a little lemon flavors backed by crisp acidity; full bodied but the acidity keeps it lively and refreshing; long finish by SB standards. One of the best SB,certainly from Calif that I've had. Vinous review notes it is 67% Sauvignon Musque probably the source of the honey like sweetness. 8 19
