Purchase Star Lane Sauvignon Santa Ynez Valley 2006

CONNOISSEUR'S GUIDE REVIEW: 90 POINTS Fresh, juicy, grassy and vital, this wine hits all the varietal stops with ease and adds in notes of straw and pineapple to its oh-so inviting aromas. Medium-full to full in weight and brisk without giving up its fruit at any point, this expressive bottling has all the pieces in place for several years of successful aging and is certain to be at home with broiled white fishes and all manner of tangy shellfish preparations. Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine Volume 32 Issue 11: September 2008 WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW: 88 POINTS Shows the crisp balance and ripe elegance that the best Sauvignon Blancs from this region display. With taut acidity, it brims with mouthwatering flavors of citrus fruits, lemongrass, vanilla and pepper, and is totally dry. S.H. (12/31/2008) WINEMAKER NOTES: Stainless steel lots bring vivid aromas of wild spring flowers, gooseberries and mandarin orange, while the wood lots contribute the rich lemon curd and grapefruit aromas that have been the hallmark of Star Lane Sauvignon Blanc. On the palate, the lots fermented in tank and stainless barrels offer a sense of balance and poise and barrel fermentation presents a mouthfeel marked by breathtaking depth. With plenty of natural acidity keeping things vibrant and structured, our 2007 is delicious now with the freshest of shellfish and will improve with up to 6 years in the cellar.
