Orin Swift Tofanelli Vineyard Veladora Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Brand new release! Prisoner winemaker Dave Phinney sources this intense and full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc from a prime vineyard in Napa Valley - limited. previous vintage 91 Points Wine Spectator:  "Floral, fragrant and juicy, with honeysuckle and mango notes that are rich and deep, giving way to ripe melon, apricot and tangerine flavors. Detailed, sophisticated and impressive on the finish, where everything comes together in harmony. Drink now. 980 cases made." Sourced from the Tofanelli Vineyard (Turley fans will recognize the source), this is a full-throttle California-style Sauvignon Blanc!  A touch of Semillon (a classic white Bordeax varietal) is blended with the Sauvignon Blanc to give it body – the resulting wine bursts out of the glass with heaps of apricot, lychee fruit, boronia flowers, passion fruit and flint. Layers of white peach, mineral liqueur, and lime oil complement a rich mouthfull of lingering honey which lends itself to a lusciously long expressive finish.
