Score 98/100 · Drink 2019-2034, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2019

One of the most expensive Sauvignons in this report, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc 29 Estate Blanc (100% Sauvignon Blanc brought up all in new oak) nevertheless delivers the goods. It has a vibrant gold (with a hint of green) color as well as Haut Brion Blanc-like notes of crushed citrus, liquid rock, white flowers, and honeysuckle. It's rich, full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and layered, and it puts just about every other Sauvignon Blanc in Napa Valley to shame. Why are there not more Sauvignon Blancs like this in the valley? Bravo!

The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc 29 Estate is rich, textured and inviting. Lees stirring adds depth and layers of nuance. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and chamomile are nicely laced together in this very pretty and expressive Sauvignon Blanc.

The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc 29 Estate delivers a seriously peachy nose with a myriad of lemon curd, lime cordial, honeyed toast and beeswax-inspired nuances plus a waft of jasmine. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers serious texture and depth with an amazing array of tropical and citrus fruit sparks carried by a racy line of freshness and finishing very long.
