Borgo del Tiglio Sauvignon Dark Label 2013

Savory and precise, with wild herbs, crushed stone, and ripe pear leading the nose, more complex than the grape typically announces itself. On the palate, a lush, almost waxy texture is kept honest by vivid acidity and orchard fruit, with green melon adding a cool counterpoint. The finish turns salty and mineral, leaving a concentrated, stony impression that somehow manages to feel completely refreshing.
