As the wine opens up, savory notes of green olive and soy sauce come alive, along with a distinctly floral persuasion, hinting at dried rose petal.

A blend of three distinct Sauvignon Blanc clones, our 2018 is bright and lively featuring Meyer lemon, key lime zest, and pineapple. Playfully tropical on the palate, the slight mid palate creaminess imparted by partial neutral oak aging is balanced out with fresh, youthful acidity. Layered with different textures, this wine is persistent and features a touch of minerality long after the last sip. It pairs well with oysters, a variety of fish, and oven grilled chicken.
