The 2020 Julien Fayard McGah Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of exceptional single-vineyard depth and the beautifully developed complexity that comes from a few years of thoughtful bottle evolution on one of Julien Fayard's most ambitious and distinctive white wine expressions. The McGah Vineyard, one of Napa Valley's most carefully farmed and distinguished white wine sites, produces Sauvignon Blanc of a character and complexity entirely removed from the variety's lighter, more aromatic styles: through partial barrel fermentation and lees aging, Julien crafts a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc of genuine textural richness, savory mineral depth, and the structural integrity to develop beautifully with time. Now in an excellent secondary drinking window, the 2020 McGah shows aromas of ripe golden peach, candied lemon, toasted hazelnut, light honey, fresh fennel, and a savory mineral earthiness of increasing complexity and depth, while the palate is full-bodied, richly textured, and seamlessly integrated, with a long, layered finish of impressive persistence and satisfaction that makes this one of the most compelling Sauvignon Blancs currently available at Maison Fayard.
