Topaz Sauternes 375ML 2005

Napa vintner Jeff Sowells makes this Sauternes-style wine whenever there's a good "botrytis vintage." This 2005 is superb: milk chocolate, mandarin, hazelnut mousse, apricot and ginger, with well-integrated acid. About half Sauvignon Blanc from Calistoga and Semillon from Alexander Valley. 15 months in barrel (30% new). 2005 vintage.
