Numbers look interesting.
Like VA.
Hope to see some rats on this one.
We discovered Vincent Arroyo about 4 years ago. Great place, and some good reds. Haven’t tried their Sauv Blanc. Would like to know what their style is - meaning does it taste like a bag of lawnmower clippings?
Given the description from the winery seems to be not overtly grassy style. I generally do not associate creamy and touch of oak in an SB to be lawnmower clipping style. But that’s just a guess.
Notes from the winery on the 2010 vintage:
The 2010 High Point Sauvignon offers a wonderful combination of crispness and complexity. The fresh aromas of tropical fruit, guava, and lemon zest give the wine a beautiful bouquet. The citric flavors give good acidity. Add to that the slight mineral aspects and you get a very nice balanced wine. A creamy lemonesque style finish with a slight hint of oak rounds out this wine quite nicely.

oh yea, this is a very well made Sauv Blanc from a highly respected winemaker. worth the extra couple of bucks here. IMO
