Napa Valley Estate Sauvignon Blanc

90 Points, James Suckling. “Crisp and crunchy, with slice green melon and citrus character. It’s medium-bodied with a hint of sweetness and a lively finish. Nice as an aperitif. Drink now.” JS, February 2024

Winemaker’s Notes

A crisp, inviting sauvignon blanc with ripe green lime and pink grapefruit combined with notes of lemon crème and a hint of anise on the palate. The wine presents green and yellow hues with bright aromatics of grapefruit, lime peel, gooseberry, fennel pollen and a touch of caper to create a saline vibrancy. Beautifully balanced with energetic acid structure and a pleasing finish.

Winemaking

After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, the Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in the cool morning hours in an effort to preserve the delicate acid structure and flavors. Once in the cellar, the grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled. Fermentations were completed in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural fruit flavors. The final blend was completed to capture the lovely fresh qualities and intense purity of the variety.
