Fiddlehead 2005 Hunnysuckle Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Hunnysuckle
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc California
Winery: Fiddlehead / Santa Ynez Valley

At the age of five-plus, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc is showing some mileage. It’s losing freshness, with dried pineapple, apricot and peach flavors emerging, and an edge of cashews and dried herbs. Yet it remains lively and clean. If you’re unfamiliar with an older Sauvignon Blanc, try it. Fully ready now.
