Illumination by Quintessa Sauvignon Blanc

A remarkable depth of flavor comes through: notes of lemon zest, honeysuckle, peach blossom, and quince are all elevated by a lovely acidity. A savory minerality layers itself among the appealing fruit flavors and hints at the complexity that will continue to reveal itself.

97 points from James Suckling. Flashy and pure, with aromas of sliced lemons, lime leaves, honeysuckle, orange blossoms, fresh ginger, fresh herbs, citrus oil, and wet stones. The palate is medium-bodied with taut, mouthwatering acidity and a generously textured mid-palate that leads to a long finish. A standout New-World sauvignon blanc in a Bordeaux Blanc style, showing real tension. Excellent. Drink or hold.

94 points from Wine Spectator. Fragrant, effusive and charming, with notes of honeysuckle and orange blossoms up front giving way to a creamy mix of mango, orange sherbet and lemon curd. Spicy accents of candied ginger, litsea oil, and salted, preserved lemon join a drizzle of wildflower honey and linger on the long, impressive finish. Drink now through 2036. 5,000 cases made.
