Reviews

The nose on the 2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc bursts with fresh peach, tangerine, and lemon curd, complemented by delicate white tea and hints of Japanese yuzu and lime. The crisp, clean mouthfeel features preserved lemon, ripe nectarine, marzipan, wet stone, and a sprinkling of white pepper. Its long finish is balanced and bright, begging the pallet to return for more.

The Estate

The 2023 growing season kicked off following a higher-than-average rainy season in Napa Valley. The moisture in the soil gave us an incredible cover crop and increased the biomass. Budbreak occurred later than usual this year due to a cool Spring and an overall late start to the season. Mild and even weather during the Summer gave us perfect ripening and great development of berry flavor. Overall, a stunning vintage and one for the ages.

Wine Making

The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were whole cluster pressed. To fully integrate the flavors as early as possible, the estate Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were co-pressed and co-fermented. After pressing and settling, the juice was moved to neutral oak barrels, then allowed to age sur lie for just over three months. This combination of pressing, fermentation techniques and the aging program adds complexity to the aromas and flavors, while preserving the bright fruit and lively natural acidity that make this wine so refreshing and enjoyable.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with chili and lime infused south-east Asian dishes, curries, pan-fried fish, and sushi. It also excels alongside a traditional roasted chicken, lighter preparations of vegetables, poached scrambled eggs with goat cheese and, of course, sipped on its own right out of a chilled bottle.
