A wine filled with fresh grapefruit, kiwi, lemon zest and dried melon aromas with fennel pollen and subtle notes of toasty oak. The palate is marked by pink grapefruit, ripe green apple, lime zest and white peach essence. It is structured and inviting, with a round, textured mouth feel from the oak barrel maturation and a creamy, layered texture. This Sauvignon Blanc is crisp yet rich with a satisfying lengthy finish.
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, grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled. Fermentation occurred in both stainless steel tanks and new French oak barrels at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural flavors. The final blend was completed after 5 months of sur-lies maturation to capture the lovely fresh qualities and intensity of flavor in the Sauvignon Blanc.

93 Points, Wine Spectator – “An impressive white, showing ruby grapefruit, yuzu, mango and grilled Meyer lemon flavors, with accents of wild fennel and lemon oregano, plus hints of tarragon and white pepper, all on a sleek and juicy frame. There’s plenty of intensity on the finish.” – MW, January 2025
92 Points, James Suckling – “There’s a real sense of structure to this, with dried melon and apples as well as phenolics to back it up. It’s medium- to full-bodied with lovely fruit and a flavorful finish. Some white peaches, too. Drink or hold.” – JS, June 2024
