Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023

$26.00 / 750 ml
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliantly clear pale straw color that signals a wine that is full of energy and verve. The first aromas in your glass burst with tropical fruits and lemongrass. On the palate, flavors of pear and white peach come to the foreground with citrus zest, lemongrass and kiwi rounding out the finished. The generous acid profile in the wine cleanses your palate and leaves you wanting to come back for more. Perfect as an aperitif or the companion to a variety of light refreshing cuisines, this wine's versatility makes it a great choice for any occasion. Best served ice cold, so chill this wine before opening.
  • Varietal percentages: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
  • Vineyard(s): River Road Ranch Vineyard
  • Vineyard Notes: The wine is made with fruit sourced from the River Road Ranch vineyard in the Russian River AVA. The site lies at the geological center of the AVA with growing conditions characterized by moderating maritime breezes during the day and cool foggy nights that are ideal for preserving acid structure in varieties like Sauvignon Blanc. The River Road Ranch's rolling hills overlook the Russian River where it turns west toward the Pacific Ocean. The site was first planted in 1998 on sandy clay loam soil over a sandy loam subsoil.

Wine Details
This bottle has the following characteristics:
Russian River
No secondary fermentation was allowed.
The grapes were hand-harvested in early October overnight and brought into the winery with no SO2. The grapes were then whole cluster pressed to liberate the fresh juice for primary fermentation. The fermentation occurred at cool temperatures to maximize the aromatic profile of the Sauvignon Blanc variety until we reached full dryness. The wine was aged five months in 60% completely neutral French Oak and 40% stainless steel to promote the wine's complexity of textures. No secondary fermentation was allowed to occur on this wine. Minimally effective SO2 was added prior to bottling under a Diam Origine® cork.
