Opening aromas of lime zest, lemon verbena, ocean spray and wet stone are hallmarks of this sauvignon blanc. Juicy acid and earthy mineral structure bring precision to the pleasing grapefruit and lemon flavors wrapped in a light citrus cream finish.
After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, grapes were harvested in the cool morning hours in an effort to preserve the delicate flavors. The fruit was received in the cellar, where the grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled prior to fermentation in concrete tanks exclusively 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 of the Sauvignon Blanc.

92 Points, JamesSuckling.com – “Lime juice, lime zest, yellow mangoes and honeydew melon on the nose, with bright, juicy acidity and a crunchy, minerally texture. There’s pleasant creaminess and citrus pith in the finish.” J.G. June 2025
92 Points, Vinous – “The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Dollarhide Estate Vineyard Cold Concrete Fermented is laced with hints of apricot, marzipan, dried flowers and lemon confit. This offers lovely mid-palate creaminess and textural presence to play off the wine’s natural citrus and floral-driven freshness. A dollop of Sémillon adds lovely mid-palate texture.” – A.G. November 2025
92 Points, Decanter – “Here we have a blend of 92% Sauvignon Blanc and 8% Sémillon, fermented in 1,000-gallon concrete vessels before being transferred post-fermentation to stainless steel. The approach, explains winemaker Michael Scholz, is designed to enhance both texture and freshness, with the wine spending approximately five months on the lees. The result is a beautifully poised expression in which classic citrus and lime zest are present but deliberately muted, giving way to a more pronounced sea-spray minerality. A fleshier mid-palate emerges, revealing subtle stone-fruit character, all carried through a long, mineral-rich finish that balances energy with quiet depth. – J.C. February 2026
91 Points, Wine Spectator – “Opens with grassy and fresh-clipped herbal notes, including lemon verbena, lemon balm and vetiver. Fresh lemon, tangerine and grapefruit flavors at the core are crisp and juicy, with a mouthwatering finish, which shows additional torque.” M.W. September 2025
