The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is a blend assembled from several sources. St. Helena, Yountville and Coombsville are all represented here. It was fermented in barrel (mainly used French oak) but matured in stainless steel. The result is a bit grassy and herbal but also ripe, with elements of fig, pear, melon and citrus. There are tons of fruit and a creamy texture on the medium to full-bodied palate, plus a lingering, lusciously ripe finish.
