Tasting notes
All varietal aged in 32% new oak, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Lillie is medium gold-hued with classy, Bordeaux Blanc-like notes of honeyed lemon, melon, and crushed stone minerality. It's nicely balanced, medium-bodied, has bright acidity, and a great, almost salty finish. It's beautifully done and will shine on the dinner table any time over the coming 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2037.

A barrel-fermented offering, Larkmead's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Lillie saw 32% new French oak, using those hints of pencil shavings to help structure the nose and rein in the notions of gooseberries, melon and fig. It's medium- to full-bodied, which gives it a plump, creamy and expansive feel on the mid-palate, balanced by tart acids on the crisp finish.
