This is a bright crisp sauvignon blanc with citrus zip, flavors of lemon, lime, yellow grapefruit, and lime zest combined with a fennel and caper vibrancy. Green and yellow hues present in this wine with exotic aromatics of pink grapefruit, green lime zest, lemon citrus along with undertones of fennel, and green olive.
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 flavors. Once in the cellar, the grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled prior to fermentation. All fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural flavors. The final blend was completed to capture the lovely fresh qualities and intensity of the flavor of the sauvignon blanc.
91 Points, Wine Spectator – “Vivid and juicy, with intense passion fruit, lime and peach notes, plus details of white tea, ruby grapefruit and wild fennel on a sleek, refreshing frame.” M.W., February 2024
90 Points, James Suckling – “Aromas of pears and white nectarines with hints of raw almond, white flowers and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with clean and crunchy acidity cutting through the vivid palate with notes of lime zest and leafy herbs. Citrusy finish. Drink now.” JS, March 2023
92 Points & Editors’ Choice, Wine Enthusiast – “Beautiful, layered fruit flavors and a finely polished texture create an elegant, well-balanced wine that’s relatively light on the palate and lingers nicely on the finish. Editors’ Choice.” JG, Oct 2023
Food & Wine | The Best Wine for Thanksgiving Dinner – “This longtime Napa Valley producer was early to the game of making equally good Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc here. This estate bottling, full of melon flavors, avoids the green-pepperiness Sauvignon Blanc can sometimes have.” Ray Isle, October 2023
