The 2023 Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc offers a sharp and lively balance on the palate. Enjoy this wine's aromas and flavors of savory herbs and chalkiness with panko-coated, pan-fried Dover sole. (Tasted: July 26, 2024, San Francisco, CA)

Tasting Notes

Fresh and clean, with white peach, wet stone, clementine and other citrus notes. Bright lemon blossom on entry, with additional echoes of peach. Smooth texture, lasting freshness and a mouthwatering finish leave you wanting another sip. The wine is not overly ripe – while also not herbaceous – featuring low alcohol and vibrant acidity.

Winemaker Notes

Guided by the idea that “less is more,” this wine is dry and fresh, with crisp fruit flavors and bright minerality. Some of their grapes come from family vineyards in Napa Valley, with the majority coming from Suisun Valley, a “hidden gem” wine region only a short drive from Napa. Suisun shares a similar maritime climate and produces exceptional fruit. Theirfarming practices enable us to create a wine that is not overly ripe – while also not herbaceous – featuring low alcohol and bright acidity.
