To Kalon Vineyard Reserve Fumé Blanc, Oakville, $35
One of the best Sauvignon Blancs in California, the ’05 is a amazing. An elegant wine of both power and finesse that reflects the terroir of the famed To Kalon Vineyard. It brings new levels of richness and complexity to a variety that can be simple even in the best of hands. With 15% Sémillon, the wine explodes with zesty tangerine, lemon tart, coconut pie and smoky oak flavors, with an edge of wintergreen. The finish is absolutely dry. A triumph.
