2019 Sauvignon Blanc
60% of the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc comes from the Kick Ranch vineyard, which lies within the Sonoma Coast appellation and sees cooler temperatures coming from the coastal fog influence. 40% of this wine comes from the Oak Knoll district of Napa Valley, where the cool winds from the San Pablo Bay help retain acidity, while the warm Napa sunshine provides ripe, fruit forward characters. Grapes were whole-cluster pressed, and then cold-fermented in 50% stainless steel drums, 25% used French barrels, and 25% new French barrels. The wine was aged in these vessels on its lees for 6 months, prior to bottling in March of 2020.
Tasting Notes
A chilled glass of our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc offers up fresh aromatics of lemon meringue, jasmine blossom, and key lime essence. As the glass warms up, riper characters shine through – white peach, mango, vanilla cream and hints of underlying barrel spice. The palate is viscous and honeyed upon entry with flavors of green apple, kiwi fruit and guava. This wine is incredibly bright and refreshing with a long and quenching finish.
