Desparada 2019 Sauvignon Blanc   

"Fragment" Santa Barbara County

NVWE Notes: Bright, citric and intense, the aromas of this terrific Sauvignon Blanc are a focused medley of lemon sorbet, grapefruit and lemongrass, with emerging scents of honeydew melon, papaya, yellow rose and white pepper in the background. It proves fuller yet even more youthful on the palate, where all the aromatic suggestions line up. The finish is ultra-long, if still youthfully restrained, and the impression of precision, clarity and concentration grows with airing. Expect this already impressive wine to grow ever more delicious over the next year. 588 cases produced.
