The 1998 Carmenet Reserve (68% Sauvignon Blanc and 32% Semillon) is 100% barrel-fermented, with approximately 25% new. This is a solid, distinctive, rich, honeyed citrus, melony, and fig-scented and flavored white with considerable power and richness. The 1998 (just under 9,000 cases), the product of a cooler than normal year, is well-made. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.Tel. (707) 996-5870; Fax (707) 996-5302
