2019 Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Valley
PURCHASE


Picture

Appellation Profile:

The Russian River Valley is blessed by a myriad of microclimates – however, the unifying characteristic are foggy mornings and evenings that cool off hot summer days in the vineyard.  The result is an extended growing season that allows grapes to fully ripen while keeping their fresh, vibrant acidity.  This climate is a perfect showcase for Sauvignon Blanc – the grape is at once both plush and tropical as well as  pleasantly invigorating – the best of both worlds. 

Tasting Notes

Pale straw gold in color, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc captures both the salinity of ocean breezes and the bright aromatics of a citrus grove.  Exotic and enticing on the nose with notes of Meyer lemon, ginger, cut hay and wet rock.   Supporting aromas of marzipan and green apple emerge after a couple swirls of the glass.   The palate mimics the nose with a dichotomy of bracing ocean-like minerality and acidity and juicy citrus and tropical fruit.  A lovely creaminess emerges in the finish, bringing everything together.  Though lovely on its own, this bottling begs to be paired with food, from creamy risotto and shellfish to spicy Thai dishes where its richness and exotic palate will play well with spice, coconut milk, ginger and lemongrass.
