The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc from this Kim Crawford is exceedingly juicy and lithe. The wine has lively aromatics of peach pit, lemon zest, Granny Smith apple and hints of kumquat. The palate is lithe, yielding lush flavors reminiscent of unripe mango, Gravenstein apple, Meyer lemon rind and unripe pear that sit alongside some brisk minerality. This estate is known for its consistency and this 2015 Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderful example. (Best 2017-2021) - December, 2016 (OB)
