4 In Stock
Winemaking Notes
Fresh, bright and crisp, this Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of balance, richness and aromatic complexity. Leading with zesty citrus notes of grapefruit, Meyer lemon and a light grassiness, this wine gives way to more tropical fruit and melon characteristics. This classic Sonoma County style Sauvignon Blanc ends with clean, refreshing acidity and pairs beautifully with toasted brie, seared scallops, oysters with mignonette and fresh pasta with sweet peas and a lemon cream sauce.
Production Notes
The 2023 vintage is not one we will soon forget. A cool and wet winter led to a budbreak 2-3 weeks later than average. Daytime temperatures throughout the growing season continued to be unusually cool, with averages in the low 70s and the warmest days just reaching into the low 80s. This led to an exceptionally late harvest – over a full month later than 2022, offering the grapes an extended hang time to develop extraordinary complexity and concentration. The even cooler nights, preserved fresh acidity and created beautiful balance with the season’s generous ripe fruit flavors.
