- A more restrained Section 94 resulting from earlier harvest dates. Fresh lemon and oatmeal aromas upfront leading to toasty and biscuit notes. In the background, aromas of honey, citrus blossoms, and jasmine flowers linger Fresh and brisk across the palate, the wine is youthful and energetic upfront before the complexities and rounded textures of extended barrel maturation present themselves. The finish is complex, with citrus, saline, and toasty flavors lingering.
- Citrus fruit is complemented by a pronounced stoniness and layers of spice. Powerful and vibrant, with a dense core that is textured and rich, yet tempered by the restrained, zesty finish.

A complex full full-bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc with a chalky minerality and fresh herbal influence, complimented by a vibrant acidity which gives the wine focus. Suggested food matches for Section 94 include fish (particularly salmon), poultry, and soft white cheeses. Hand-picked and gently pressed to tank for 24 hours of settling before eighteen months of fermentation and aging in older French Oak barrels. 100% natural ferment. Bottled without fining and only minimal filtration.
