Best Buy! For the second time this decade, Victor Palencia has produced a Platinum with Sauvignon Blanc for the Jones family. And this three-time qualifier proved to be the highest- rated Sauv Blanc of this year’s judging. It’s redolent of tangerine, nectarine and honeydew melon with a pinch of cinnamon toast as a blend of pink raspberry and white peach impart a bit of fleshiness and lingering brightness to the finish that’s just a touch off-dry (0.8% residual sugar). Qualifying awards: Savor NW (gold), Great Northwest Wine Magazine comparative tasting (Outstanding!), Pacific Northwest (gold)
Rating: Double Platinum • 96 points
