2019 Sauvignon Blanc

The small yellow clusters were hand-picked in the early morning, then whole-cluster pressed and fermented in 33% new French oak, 33% neutral French oak, and 33% stainless steel drums. The wine was barrel-aged sur lie for 18 months with two stirrings per month and bottled on April 21, 2021.

This vintage displays all the characteristics that we expect from this excellent vineyard site.  The mineral nose shows bright tropical notes of mango, grapefruit, and citrus. On the palate, delicious fruit flavors of poached pear, vanilla, and grilled citrus fruit are highlighted by light oak and a persistent finish.
