Duckhorn Napa Valley 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, $22.94-$29.99, 92 points, poured a light brass color and brimmed a light gold.
Floral aromas were nuanced with Necco wafers.
Oxymoronically the light crisp body was round and delicate.
Generally the main body showed recessive flavors reflective of the aromas with a hint of grapefruit, but the unending finish multiplied those flavors with mango, guava, hay, ginger, white pepper, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired okay with my Maine lobster roll, but this wine was made for a lighter white fish.
Varietals were 82% Sauvignon Blanc and 18% Sémillon.
