Such an expressive, beautifully pure Sauvignon Blanc, with lemon and lime, apricot and white peach, and notes of vanilla and pretty acacia flowers, jasmine, and honeysuckle. Crystalline acid tension frames terrific mid-palate weight, with nuances of crushed almonds and wet-stone minerality, and tension through the fruit-driven finish. (FUTO is a 160-acre estate on the west side of Oakville, just a stone’s throw from BOND. Of this, 14 acres are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc. The Oakville site sits on an ancient seabed uplift of shale and sandstone. Futo owns another 40-acre parcel behind Chimney Rock in the Stags Leap District, which includes 14 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. Tom Futo purchased the original 40-acre Oakford vineyard in November 2002 and later expanded it by an additional 120 acres in 2004. He commissioned Howard Backen to design the gravity-fed winery, which features stainless steel fermentation tanks and large upright oak casks for cellaring.)
