2010 Miani Sauvignon Saurint

The 2010 Sauvignon Saurint shows gorgeous, crystalline purity in its aromas and flavors. This is a beautiful, saline Sauvignon endowed with superb energy, freshness and nuance. Varietal notes wrap around the long, mineral-infused finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. There are few properties anywhere in the world I look forward to visting more than Miani. Proprietor Enzo Pontoni continues to turn out riveting wines. I have been steadily working through my stash of 2009s and can report that the wines are every bit as fabulous as my reviews suggested. Production remains around 8,000 bottles a year, but Pontoni is developing a number of new vineyards sites, so hopefully that number will increase over the coming years. The 2010 whites are terrific, but they are tightly wound and need to be opened well in advance. Importer: The Sorting Table, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 603-1461
