2021 Sauvignon Blanc

RUTHERFORD, NAPA VALLEY

“An excellent Rutherford growing season produced lovely uniform Sauvignon Blanc fruit that allowed for a relatively brief harvest period and resulted in an outstanding wine full of concentration and complexity. A mouthwatering acidity adds energy to elegant aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit, Bearss lime, honeydew melon, and kiwi that were retained in the precision of a slow cold fermentation.”
-Justin Carr, Winemaker

GROWING SEASON
2021 will be remembered as an extreme vintage and one of the best of recent years. Pronounced drought conditions resulting in lower yields combined with mild spring and summer conditions. It allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and provided a unique concentration of aromas and flavors all the while keeping high acidities. Perfectly balanced, the wines are a true glimpse of this unique vintage – concentrated and lively at the same time.
