The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Georgia is rich, expansive and generous, as this wine so often is. Apricot, lemon confit, mint, orange marmalade, passion fruit and a kiss of new French oak infuse the 2017 with layers of texture and nuance. Creamy and alluring, the Georgia is impeccable today. 60% new oak and light toast barrels mark a big change from the days this wine saw 100% new oak. The 2017 needs time to recover from its bottling, but it is quite fine.
