Remember this being atypical - not the zingy Cab Sauv always gives you.

Bright and pithy American sauv blanc. Smells dominately of grapefruit and pomello with some notes of passion fruit. Light, citrus-y and pepper-y with crisp green herb like tarragon.

Winemaker Rebecca Wineburg has crafted a stunning blend of 44% Sauvignon Musque and 47% Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Semillon. The resultant wine is one of the most compelling Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley which I have tasted in the past year and follows the exceedingly long line of great Illumination bottlings. This has a simply luxurious texture and mouthfeel that yeilds tropical fruit flavors which connect with a wonderful tension. This gorgeous wine will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2019-2026- 94
