2021 Tenor Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting notes
The unfiltered 2021 Tenor Sauvignon Blanc has a light goldenrod color, slight opacity, and dramatic purity. Orange oil, sweet floral hyacinth, and lemon chiffon create a pleasing tension against the more mineral sea brine, struck flint, and yellow cedar. The palate delivers an abundance of orange peel, salted lemon, and lime leaf with a rich brioche and candied ginger accompaniment. The medium bodied mouthfeel is superbly balanced with very intricate acidity. The finish is long and complex with starfruit, spice, and minerals.
