2017リザーブ・ソーヴィニヨン・ブラン
Fresh-caught crab with tomato and herb salad
Intense notes of lemon and lime rind, grapefruit, lychee and under-ripe pineapple. Swirling adds green guava, fresh jalapeno and herbs. The palate is vibrant, structured and angular. Delivering citrus, wet stone minerality and a lemon lifted finish. This is built for aging, so let it breathe early on.

"Hailing from Boushey Vineyard, this wine was aged in a combination of large format oak and concrete. Aromas of gooseberry, kiwi, pink grapefruit, lemon rind, tropical fruit and herb lead to creamy-feeling fruit flavors supported by well-balanced acidity. A lingering finish caps it off. It's a richer styled interpretation of the variety."

"Pale, bright green-yellow. Sexy scents of lemon drop, fresh herbs and mint oil convey a positive phenolic character. Dense, suave and quite harmonious, conveying a subtle sweetness and strong tactile minerality to its flavors of lemon rind, grapefruit and fresh herbs. Finishes with noteworthy building length. Made from a relatively low yield by Boushey standards. Finishes musky, minerally, smooth and very long. This dry but fully ripe wine shows terrific drive and may be the most serious Sauvignon Blanc I tasted in Washington this summer. Morell stirs the eggs and rolls the 600-liter barrel to move the lees. This wine reminded me a bit of a cucumber margarita I had had with oysters the previous evening."
