A brightly acidic, savory Sauvignon Blanc, rich and zesty in lemongrass, lime, gooseberry and white peach flavors, with a touch of white pepper. The firm spine of minerals comes from the vineyard. Very rich and appealingly dry, this wonderful wine will gather momentum in the bottle over the next decade. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 93

Absolutely brilliant (but sadly, there are only 250 cases of it) is the 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the block of vines planted in 1945, the 2005 Fume Blanc I Block. I think this is only available at the winery, but the wine shows beautiful stony, lemon oil notes intermixed with some honeysuckle, fig, and melon. A beautiful wine, you can almost taste the essence of the old vines in its concentration and intensity. Drink it over the next 3-4 years, although I suspect it might last even longer. Tel.

The 57-year old Sauvignon Blanc parcel called I Block has produced a 2002 Fume Blanc I Block that is a beautifully textured, medium-bodied offering displaying the essence of honeyed grapefruit along with some lemon characteristics. Spicy, broad, medium-bodied, and intensely flavorful, this dry Sauvignon Blanc represents Mondavi’s interpretation of a white Graves. This beauty will drink well for 4-5 years. Tel.
