Classic pale-straw color, with intense aromatics of lemon zest, crenshaw melon, kiwi and ripe grapefruit. Pronounced mineral and wet-stone with just a hint of herbal “green” Sauvignon notes. The wine has excellent viscosity combining barrel-fermented roundness with refreshing acidity leading to a long finish.

Wine maker notes

Our Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from several distinct growing regions within the Napa Valley, including Oak Knoll, Rutherford, and Oakville, each contributing a different expression of the varietal. This wine was fermented slowly at cool temperatures (50° to 58°F), in a combination of French oak (70% of the blend; only 5% new) and stainless steel tanks (30%). Our intent is to preserve and enhance the delicate varietal nuances.
