La Flor de Jonata Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Sophisticated, complex and utterly satisfying vintage of Flor. Explosively aromatic with notes of honeysuckle, lemon grass, candied ginger, white rose and lemon bar. The palate weight is luxurious with nuances reminiscent of honeycomb and loquat and large, crunchy flakes of sea salt. Suave and expansive. Feels like a silk pillowcase. Lovely convergence of fruit density, saline notes, buoyant and refreshing acidity and pure Jonata/Flor power. Gravel driveway after a rainstorm. Compact and powerful vintage. Compelling and complete. A texturally and structurally towering white wine. One of the great Flor bottlings.
Blend: 97% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Sémillon.
94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The very lightly hued, Sauvignon Blanc dominated 2019 Flor (there's 3% Semillon) offers up a gorgeous, Bordeaux Blanc-like bouquet of ripe pineapple and citrus fruits interwoven with notes of brioche, honeyed almonds, and chalky minerality. It has bright acidity, medium-bodied richness, and a concentrated yet precise, focused style on the palate that bodes well for a good decade of longevity, if not longer.
