Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This vintage is bright and racy, with crisp flavors of green apple and a hint . Minerality notes, lively acidity, and green grassy elements balance the wine nicely. It finishes long with a touch of lemon zest. My favorite wine with oysters, it pairs well with most all seafood.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Tangent's unoaked Sauvignon Blancs are consistently good, and make versatile wines for food pairing. This 2012 vintage really defines their style. The wine is rich and dry in honey, limes, lemons and nectarines, with acidity so tart, it makes the mouth water. The winemaker suggests pairing with oysters, but it will go with almost anything.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

California’s coolest wine growing area, Edna Valley excels in the production of high quality Central Coast wines like Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Rhône Blends and aromatic white wines. It has a cool Mediterranean climate and an incredibly long growing season, giving late-ripening varieties plenty of opportunity to develop great phenolic complexity.

Its northwest to southeast orientation creates a direct path for cool Pacific air and fog to penetrate the valley from the Los Osos and Morro Bay area inwards. Low hillsides of both calcareous and volcanic soils are home to much of the vineyard acreage of the Edna Valley.
