Potentially one of the most profound Sauvignon Blanc-based wines I have tasted from California, the 2021 La Proportion Doree boasts explosive aromas of cut grass, gooseberries, tangerines and pink grapefruit. A barrel-fermented—in previously used French oak—blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle, it's medium to full-bodied and lush, with enormous richness and concentration and a potent, lingering finish. I only hope this stunning effort survives the journey into bottle looking this good.
