One of the greatest examples of this variety in every vintage seems to be the Georgia cuvée from Lail. The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Georgia is 100% Sauvignon from the Totem Estate Vineyard in Yountville, and it was fermented and aged 21 months in 70% new oak. As most great wines do, it's absorbed every trace of new wood and offers a beautiful perfume of lemon curd, white flowers, minty herbs, chalky minerality and hints of toasted brioche. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's concentrated, has flawless balance, and a great finish. Give it a year or two and enjoy over the following decade.

Fermented and aged 21 months in French oak, 70% of it new, this sophisticatedm complex and structured white is from a three-acre site that is dry-farmed.
