The 2001 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon Siblings (55% of the former and 45% of the latter) reveals pungent, earthy notes of figs, melons, and grapefruit. Medium-bodied and intense, it will undoubtedly be controversial because of its pungency, but it is varietal as well as grassy. Drink it over the next 2-3 years, although it will probably live longer.
