Napa Valley
Sauvignon Blanc

This Bordeaux-style blend of 61% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Sémillon, and 15% Sauvignon Musqué (an aromatic clone of Sauvignon Blanc) is sourced entirely from Rancho Pequeño Vineyard, a 10-acre parcel on the eastern bench of the Oakville appellation.

Tasting Notes

Floral aromatics include honeyed acacia and chamomile, white pepper, and fennel seed. The palate offers up Asian pear, lemon confit, and lychee. Hints of oyster shell and a firm phenolic backbone give this wine excellent persistence and a mouthwatering finish.

Winemaking Notes

The 2022 growing season began with dry conditions that promoted early bud break.  Moderate heat in the first half of the summer supported even ripening. The site’s southern exposure ensured full ripening while fastidious organic and biodynamic farming, led by Steve Matthiasson, preserved soil moisture. Morning fog and cool afternoon breezes sealed fresh acidity into the fruit.
