There are only 500 liters of the 2000 Sauvignon Blanc Sernau (which is usually produced in the 3000 liter range) because a winery intern inadvertently hooked up the wrong hose to a tank, leading to the loss of 2,500 liters of potentially outstanding wine. Its demure floral nose leads to a thick, medium-bodied personality. This broad wine has outstanding potential as it is chock-full of lush pears and apples. It is intense, possesses excellent depth of fruit and has a long, smoky, toasty finish. Projected maturity: 2004-2011. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
