2012 Quintessa "Illumination" Napa-Sonoma Counties Sauvignon Blanc
90
Int'l Wine Cellar
Review Date: 05/2014Pale greenish-yellow. High-pitched aromas of pineapple, lime zest, gooseberry and fresh herbs turn a bit more exotic with air. Juicy and dry, with enticing floral lift to the flavors of pineapple syrup, mango, green melon and herbs. Broader than the more Loire-like 2011 version but a note of lemon drop gives lift to the finish.

Notes
Made by the Quintessa team as the estate's white-wine counterpart, Illumination is centered on Sauvignon Blanc from Napa and Sonoma County vineyards. The 2012 California vintage was notably warm and even, giving producers clean, healthy fruit across the North Coast.
