Winemaker Notes
This pure Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with aromas of citrus, fresh cut grass, green herbs and currant buds. Light in body but intense in flavor, it offers great tension and freshness on the palate.
Enjoy amongst friends on its own or with goat cheese, marinated vegetables, a wide range of fish/shellfish, and more.

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is terrific, with a juicy, Loire-like style in its citrus, white grapefruit, sappy herb, and mineral-driven aromatics. Medium-bodied, clean, and balanced on the palate, it’s well worth seeking out.
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.
A small category representing the wines that either fall outside of appellation lines or don’t subscribe to the law and traditions set forth by the French government within certain classified appellations, “Vin De France” is a catch-all that includes some of the most basic French wines as well as those of superior quality. The category includes large production, value-driven wines. It also includes some that were made with a great deal of creativity, diligence and talent by those who desire to make wine outside of governmental restrictions. These used to be called Vin de Table (table wine) but were renamed to compete with other European countries' wines of similar quality.
