Hill Family Estate – Sauvignon Blanc 2019 – Atlas Peak, Napa Valley

The nose is fruity, racy and offers gourmandize as well as a beautiful fine grain and a fine intensity. It reveals notes of fresh/juicy pear, peach, small notes of fleshy apple associated with small touches of quenette, a racy minerality, discreet hints of citrus, sense of the place and a subtle hint of yuzu. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/mineral frame, a good definition, gourmandize as well as a certain aromatic purity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fleshy apple, quenette, small notes of lychee associated with small touches of apple flowers, mandarine, a subtle hint of yuzu as well as an imperceptible hint of sense of the place/fresh vegetation and fresh almond (in the background). Good length.
