North Coast Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Trade Tools
America / North Coast
Grapes come from vineyards in Napa Valley and top vineyards throughout the North Coast. The exceptional fruit from these sites produces a rich, complex Sauvignon Blanc that is simultaneously fresh, crisp and zesty. Grapes are harvested during the cool nighttime hours to fully capture their fresh, pure flavors and vibrant acidity. Whole-cluster-pressing of the fruit under anaerobic conditions maximizes varietal intensity while minimizing the extraction of astringent compounds from the skins.
Harvest Note
Ample winter rainfall sustained healthy growth with minimal irrigation throughout the growing season. Summer temperatures remained below average, with very few heat spikes, for slow but steady canopy and fruit development. Cooler temperatures persisted throughout harvest which allowed for extended ripening that preserved fresh acidity.
Tasting Note
Aromas of pink grapefruit, lime zest, green apple and pineapple. A lively mix of flavors unfolds, blending bright citrus, melon, juicy pear and tropical fruit. The finish is crisp with vibrant acidity and a hint of minerality on the finish.
