The 2015 Phelps Creek Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from a cool site north of the Phelps Creek estate. This limited production wine begins with aromatics of gooseberry, pink grapefruit blossom, unripe pear and suggestions of baking spices with marzipan hints. There are bright fruit flavors of lemon oil, kumquat rind, white grapefruit, bitter olive oil, and gooseberry. Astringent, intense and wonderfully structured, this wine has beautiful poise despite the obvious heat of the vintage. (Best 2017-2021) - February, 2017 (OB)
