Quintessa Illumination Sauvignon Blanc 2014
New rare white from Quintessa!Intrigued with making a white wine from Quintessa, Agustin Huneeus planted a small plot of Sauvignon Blanc at the estate in 2002. Illumination first emanated from this vineyard, its rays penetrating the palates of sommeliers, friends and guests who requested it for their own cellars. He now shares this limited production wine with kindred spirits seeking illumination via wines that express their place of origin.Tasting Notes: "The Illumination Sauvignon Blanc is aromatic with white peach, Meyer lemon and jasmine notes. Soft tropical fruit flavors lead to a lush mouth-feel with a clean finish enhanced by mineral notes." "Illumination is "America's finest Sauvignon Blanc", Robert Whitley

Purely delicious - lush pink grapefruit and tons of acid. Loved.

Nice texture with notes of orange blossom and melon. Medium bodied Sauvignon Blanc that we ate with our Salad Lyonnaise

This wine had me believing we were in Marlborough, and I was quite surprised to find that we were on the West Coast. Cut grass, green bell peppers, and loads of herbaceous qualities with a citrus backdrop.

Fantastic sav blanc. Stone fruit, lemon rind, brilliant but perfectly tempered acidity, and a lengthy finish rare in a sav blanc. Delish.

Cloudy lemonade. Lots of power and body. At Jasmine's new place.

Tropical fruit and light spice, some zest to it. Hints of petrol which isn't my preference.

So rich like a Chardonnay, but light & dry with very soft fruits. A perfect Sauvignon Blanc.
