From Long Meadow Ranch in California's Napa Valley, the Sauvignon Blanc 2019 is a refined 100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from the Rutherford Estate's San Mateo Vineyard on alluvial soils that capture the region's cool maritime influences for vibrancy and complexity. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2019 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo meticulously small lot fermentation and sur lie aging in stainless steel to showcase the aromatic Musque clone's fresh aromatics. Committed to full-circle organic farming since 2011, this production yields a pale straw wine with green highlights and remarkable purity.
Tasting Notes A textural, grippy Napa Sauvignon Blanc with layers of Meyer lemon, grapefruit rind, and tangerine, riding the palate with seamless energy, lasting freshness, and subtle herbaceousness. The nose offers fresh lemon verbena, green Anjou pear, pomelo, and lychee, transitioning to pink grapefruit rind and kaffir lime leaf on the palate.
Awards and Accolades The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast for its textured, high-acid profile with layers of Meyer lemon, grapefruit rind, and tangerine.
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C without decanting to preserve vibrancy. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, salads, or goat cheese. Enjoy now through 2028, during which it will develop subtle honeyed notes.
