The 2021 ‘La Proportion Dorée’ pours a bright yellow color and takes on another gear in the glass, cascading open with generous aromas of fresh currants, candle wax, jasmine, and a lift of white pepper spice. Medium to full-bodied, its structure offers fantastic definition, and it has a concentrated, rich texture, an even spine of acidity, and exceptional length. A stunning textural blend to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years. -

Potentially one of the most profound Sauvignon Blanc-based wines I have tasted from California, the 2021 ‘La Proportion Dorée’ 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.
