An outstanding effort as well as an attractive value is the 2000 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon Siblings (60% of the former and 40% of the latter). It offers considerable texture in addition to gorgeous melony fruit with notes of figs and melon. This tank-fermented and aged, ripe, surprisingly concentrated, stylish, zesty white should be consumed during its first year of life.
