The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc seems to suffer from a bit of an identity crisis, as it hovers between the crisp, aromatic style typical of Friuli to some of the richer, more textured wines being made in the region today. The wine shows considerable body and textural depth, but the balance is not totally convincing. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. These are the most impressive wines across the board I have tasted from Sant’Elena.Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907
