This lovely Spring white comes from Dutton Ranch's Shop Block and Cohen Vineyard in Green Valley. I love the way the green notes of Sauvignon aren't suppressed or covered up in this wine. There are pretty grass and clover aromas, lemongrass, pink grapefruit and yuzu flavors. Fermented in stainless steel and matured briefly in older, neutral oak barrels, it shows great restraint and purity, but has plenty of flavor. And a few more months in the bottle doesn't seem to have hurt this 2016 white wine one bit. Highly recommended! (92 points)
