WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc program took us across an exciting range of appellations encompassing the sunny Dry Creek Valley, wind-swept Monterey, and the lofty elevation of Lake County's Mt. Konocti neighborhood. Our Dry Creek Valley vineyard reliably delivers flavors in the tropical spectrum, rounded out by the citrus notes found in Lake County. Grounding and bringing dimension to the blend are the racy, crisp green notes contributed by sourcing where Monterey's 'thermal rainbow' affords a spectrum of climatic influences, notably wind, that create just the right amount of stress to achieve balance in flavor and fruit chemistry.
TASTING NOTES:
Dry Creek Valley, Lake County, and Monterey provided the fruit for this vivacious uno- aked Sauv Blanc. Zippy notes of grapefruit, just-ripened nectarine, honeysuckle, and lemon meringue leave a clean taste on the palate. Herbal notes follow on the finish.
- Tasting Panel, 90 pts.
Well balanced and crisp in texture, this medium-bodied wine offers fresh lemon and lime aromas. Equally vivid and tangy flavors drive the refreshing palate.
Wine Enthusiast, 90 pts.
This is is grassy and bright, with an onion-skin savor overlying bright lemon and grapefruit. For a ricotta and spinach pasta.
Wine & spirits, 90 pts.
Pear, lime, apple and lemon zest flavors are fresh and light, with a touch of spicy dried flowers lingering on the finish.
