90pts Jeb Dunnuck
Tasted as a barrel sample, the bright straw-colored 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Estate is forward and bright with punchy zest, bright green herbs, salted grapefruit, and guava. Leaning to medium-bodied, it has a floral slanting profile on the palate, with a clean finish and a supple feel.
Tasting Notes
Our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of white flower, passion fruit, guava, honeydew, citrus, and a slight touch of oak. The palate is beautifully balanced, offering crisp, balanced acidity, smooth texture and Meyer lemon on the finish.
Winemaker Notes
Our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc captures the exotic, vibrant and complex fruit character of our estate-grown grapes. The vineyards are ideally situated to take advantage of soil changes, different aspects, and exposures to sun and wind. A small amount of Sauvignon Gris adds layers of flavor and interest to the blend. In the winery, we preserve the distinctive aromatics of the grapes by minimizing exposure to air and fermenting with carefully selected cultured yeast in a combination of stainless steel and French oak. Aging on the lees with regular stirring bring all the elements together, giving us a complete and harmonious wine.
Blend: 93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sauvignon Gris
