The medium-gold color on this barrel-fermented Sauvignon suggests straight away the richness that's to come. A mineral-smudged noseful of gun smoke, grapefruit pith and pineapple rind and fire-roasted bell pepper heads into a palate that's full-figured and highly textural. The firework of aromas doesn't quite carry through into flavors, and the acidity could be a little more vibrant, but overall this is a characterful bottling with length and weight.
