Presented as a baby La Flor (which is Jonata's Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon bottling), the 2011 The White is a borderline outstanding blend of mostly Sauvignon Blanc, yet also incorporates Semillon and Viognier. As with the Chardonnay, it's aged in one-third each new French oak, neutral oak and stainless steel. Offering up plenty of exotic green fruit, lychee, lemongrass and tropical notes, this medium-bodied, fresh and lively effort has great acidity, good texture and a clean, classy finish that has you coming back for another sip. It's a perfect meal starter and should drink nicely for 3-4 years. Drink now. Score - 90. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013)
