2023 SAUVIGNON BLANC
94 POINTS - Wine Enthusiast
"This wine is bright, earthy, with aromas of yellow plum, citrus, cantaloupe, dried herbs on the nose. The flavors on the palate are pink grapefruit, green apple, woven layers of juicy fruit, finishing with pineapple, Satsuma orange zest, and mineral. Pair with crudo of halibut, Satsuma oranges, and fresh arugula." — Tonya Pitts
TASTING NOTES
The delightful fragrance of tropical fruits, particularly passion fruit, emanates from this wine. It offers a refreshing palate with intricate layers of complexity, vibrant acidity, and a finish highlighted by the interplay of lemon, lime, and minerality. Remarkably crisp with a lingering aftertaste, this wine is a perfect match for light summer fare, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh crudité platter.
PRODUCTION NOTES
The Sauvignon Blanc is planted in three different blocks in the Coble Ranch Vineyard. The blocks vary in location throughout the vineyard with the most recent being planted in 2017, all in prime alluvial and clay soils in a warm climate to accentuate the ripe tropical flavors that can be expressed by this wine grape variety. The Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in three picks; each is specifically calibrated to achieve optimal flavor profiles and fruit extraction.
The Sauvignon Blanc is pressed in a bladder press upon arrival at the winery, it is then racked to a tank to be cold-settled. Once the juice is settled, we transfer it to a new tank where it is inoculated with various yeast strains. The Sauvignon Blanc is aged in 100% stainless steel.
