2024 Rutherford Estate Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

94 Points, JamesSuckling.com

“Mineral and citrus driven, with aromas of grilled lemons, wet stones, flint and citrus blossoms. The palate is tightly wound, with vibrant acidity and underlying power that leads to a minerally, mouthwatering finish. Time on the lees has resulted in a finely made sauvignon blanc”

“This is stylish and elegant. Lemon balm, apple and pomelo flavors are crisp and lively at the core, showing a fresh thread of acidity, plus accents of shiso leaf, ruby grapefruit and tangerine. The flavors crescendo on the long, expressive finish, with lingering notes of white tea and peach. Drink now”

“Antonio Galloni, Vinous – The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Rutherford Estate Vineyard sizzles with tension. Lime, chalk, mint and dried flowers all race across the palate. This vibrant, steely Sauvignon Blanc has a ton of character. Clean saline notes extend the finish”

“Decanter – This organically farmed site is planted on deeper soils that encourage a more vigorous canopy and, in turn, greater fruit intensity. The wine ferments and ages on the lees for approximately five months across a mix of vessels—concrete, neutral oak and stainless steel—adding both texture and freshness. In the glass, the wine is incredibly bright, vivid and focused, driven by pure lime, lime zest and lime blossom, with saline-edged acidity coursing through the light- to medium-bodied palate. Positively crunchy acidity and chalky mineral intensity define the long, refreshing finish. A natural match for oysters, roast chicken or Dover sole”
