Expert Review - Vintage 2023
The Tasting Panel 92 Points | This fantastic value is kissed with 4% Sémillon and saw four months of aging in predominantly neutral French oak (30% rested instead in concrete egg and stainless steel). Vibrant flavors of quince, passion fruit, and yellow grapefruit meld with garden herbs and lively, balanced acidity.
Winemaker Description
2023 marks our eighth vintage of sauvignon blanc and our sourcing has remained the same for all eight vintages. We work closely with our two growers, one in Carneros and the other just east of Yountville. How sauvignon blanc is grown has a major impact on what flavors we get, so we spend time during the growing season ensuring we are exposing the clusters to the right amount of sum, too little sum and you get the green bell pepper flavors, too much gives you flavors of guava. Too much canopy drives grassy flavors we want to avoid.
