Expert Review - Vintage 2024

The Wine Enthusiast by Tonya Pitts 91 Points | his wine is vibrant, with aromas of Meyer lemon, green papaya and lemongrass on the nose. The flavors on the palate are white nectarine, orange sherbet and allspice, intertwined with pink grapefruit zest, mineral and a dry finish.  

Natalie Maclean 90 Points | Love Duckhorn 2023 Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon white wine blend (91%/9%). So elegant and fresh on the palate, it is dry, medium-plus-bodied and concentrated with tropical fruit flavours, citrus preserve, grassy and subtle spicy notes zesty, silky and rich on the palate. Excellent now, enjoy it chilled with grilled chicken breasts Dijonnaise. Grapes for this vintage were sourced from Napa, Sonoma, Lake County and Mendocino County

Winemaker Description

From the first swirl, this Sauvignon Blanc captivates with aromas of candied pineapple and guava, layered with a delicate flourish of key lime blossom. On the palate, vibrant notes of fresh melon take center stage, balanced by a lively acidity that lends energy and precision. A silky texture carries the wine to a focused finish, where a hint of minerality adds intrigue and finesse. Crisp, expressive and beautifully crafted, this wine is a stunning reflection of North Coast Sauvignon Blanc.
Production

The 2024 growing season began with abundant winter rainfall, revitalizing the vines for a strong start. Ideal weather during bud break and bloom fostered a generous crop, while above average temperatures in June and July encouraged vibrant vine growth and consistent berry ripening. Dynamic weather patterns throughout summer brought alternating warm and cool periods late into the season, with moderate September temperatures fostering balanced sugars and vibrant acidity.
