Arkenstone Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2019

The light gold-hued 2019 Estate Blanc checks in as 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Semillon, vinified and aged in a mix of concrete, used barrels, and new French oak. Gorgeous white grapefruit, ripe lemon, and chalky mineral notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, ripe, yet racy, chiseled white that will evolve for 15 years or more. Give it a year or two in the cellar.

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Estate is composed of 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Semillon. The nose features notes of fresh peaches and green guava with hints of struck match and honeysuckle, plus a waft of elderflower. Medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing, it coats the palate with stone and tropical fruit layers, with a long minerally finish.
