Winemaker’s Notes
An inviting and fresh sauvignon blanc with green lime and yellow grapefruit aromas that mingle with notes of passion fruit, lemon peel and a hint of anise. The wine presents green and yellow hues with a crisp and refreshing palate filled with juicy grapefruit and lime zest with a touch of gooseberry and caper to create a saline vibrancy. A balanced wine with lively acid structure and a pleasing finish.
Vintage 2024
The 2024 growing season was classic Napa Valley. Much like 2023, the valley saw a wet winter that nourished the soil and set the stage for a mild spring. The wet beginning of the season was key in 2024. Bud break began normally during a period of extended mild spring temperatures with abundant shoot growth. Canopy management was important to veraison and ripening during extended warm periods from June through harvest. The first sauvignon blanc was picked on August 7 with continual picking through early September. The cool nights preserved beautiful acidity in the fruit and created classic varietal character in the grapes.
