Arkenstone Estate 2021 Howell Mountain – Napa Valley

(94% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Semillon) The nose is fruity, gourmand and offers a certain intensity and fine roundness. It reveals notes of pulpy white peach, bright brugnon and pulpy apple, associated with fine hints of juicy/fresh grapefruit. The palate is well-built, supple, gourmand, acidulous and offers juiciness, precision, a tangy frame, gourmandise, roundness and a certain energy. In mouth this wine expresses notes of pulpy lemon, bright vine peach, and small notes of bright apple, associated with fine touches of kumquat, juicy grapefruit, fine hints of toasted almond and a discreet hint of vanilla. Round, gourmand and well-made wine. Good length.
