The unfiltered 1999 Sauvignon was aged for 12 months in 100% new French oak. Remarkably, the oak provides only a subtle flavor component to the wine's intense fruit character. It is a serious Sauvignon, with superb purity, medium to full body, and gorgeous honeyed fig/melony fruit revealing a touch of spice. Its glycerin, rich fruit, elegance, and intensity make for a remarkable Sauvignon.
