Our 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is made from a blend of clones 1, 376, and musqué planted in 2004. This wine was stainless steel fermented and aged in a mix of used French oak and stainless steel barrels on fine lees for 5 months. Aromatically vibrant from the first pour, it opens with notes of fresh cut grass and an array of citrus fruits including lime zest, Meyer lemon, and tangerine rind. Picked with freshness in mind, it is crisp and refreshing with creamy mid-palate weight; perfectly crafted for front porch sipping. Bright acidity keeps it focused and long. Granny smith apple and fresh chamomile flower linger on the finish.
Beautifully salmon pink in hue, our 2020 Rosé wine boasts aromatics of watermelon, nectarine and the slightest hint of white pepper. Flirty and juicy, this rose features a striking balance of bright minerality retention coupled with delicate mid-weight creaminess from oak aging.
