2022 Lail "Georgia" Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
96
Wine Advocate
One of Napa's most impressive examples of the variety, Lail's 2022 Georgia Sauvignon Blanc—picked long before Labor Day's scorching heat wave—features crushed stone notes, a subtle fumé character and fruity hints of lime, tangerine and guava. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and expansive on the palate, revealing plenty of texture and length. The vineyard was originally planted by George Yount in 1839, but the current, dry-farmed vines "only" go back to 1988. Planted to Merlot then, it was grafted over to Sauvignon Blanc in 2006–2007.

Notes
96-points The Wine Palate: "The 2022 Georgia Sauvignon Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It opens with evocative notes of white peaches, ripe pears, and lime blossoms, leading to hints of sea spray and coriander seed. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers intense orchard fruit flavors with a compelling kiss of oak, contributing to the satiny texture and offset by great tension, finishing long and layered."
