Winery Notes:
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc offers a great deal of complexity. On the nose, it evokes white peaches, Golden Delicious apples, golden raisins, lemon zest and a hint of lemongrass. Though crisp up front, the mid-palate offers a medium-bodied texture. Its flavors include Gravenstein apples, Bartlett pears, yellow nectarines, baked apple crisp, brioche and a touch of marzipan. The finish has beautiful length with fresh acidity and subtle toasty notes.
Blend: 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sémillon
Wine Advocate
- wa91
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc—it includes 20% Sémillon—was mostly fermented and aged in stainless steel, with 25% going into oak. The result is a gently grassy-herbal wine loaded with grapefruit and nectarine-tinged fruit, plus hints of fig and melon. It's medium-bodied, plump and creamy on the mid-palate, then long and silky on the finish. It's nicely complex and composed.
Wine Enthusiast

This smooth, rather deep and partially oak-aged wine shows a rounded texture enveloping fresh citrus, light toast and ginger notes, leading to a touch of vanilla on the finish. It's well done in this style and shows the broadening effect of 20% Sémillon.

Notes of chalky lemons, white stone fruit with hints of radish, white flowers and stones. Juicy and crisp with medium body. Fruity and easy to drink.
