Sauvignon Blanc Section 94 2020

The 2020 Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc is ripe (14% alcohol), but it carries it so well. The wine is weighty (emphasized by time in older oak barrels) and wide—there is a smoky/dusty/earthy/campfire sort of character in the background, while the fruit reaches from kiwi, green apple, lemon flesh, lemongrass, tatami mat, enoki mushroom and even hints of white miso. While the estate Sauvignon Blanc is elegant, lean and refined, this is powerful, complex and expansive. This is a wine that will drink better in the future than it does now—the structuring and inherent power make for an exciting future discussion. Sealed under screw cap.
