Sauvignon Blanc 2020 Ink Grade

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

Despite a relatively low declared alcohol (12.5%), Ink Grade's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is ripe and honeyed on the nose, with just a subtle herbaceousness accenting fig and melon notes. Aged in a mix of concrete and oak, it's medium-bodied, with a pleasant, silky feel in the mouth, but it is already showing considerable development and even slightly oxidative notes. It's a distinctive style that won't fit many people's stereotypical idea of what Sauvignon Blanc should be but offers enjoyment for the open-minded.

Lots of dried apricot, peaches and sliced red apple. Full and layered with a rich and oily character. Lots of phenolic texture. Remains lively. Made in concrete, stainless and cask. Exotic nature to this. Sauvignon blanc planted on Howell Mountain in 1996. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
