Estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Sauvignon Musqué grapes from Calistoga, the Stags Leap District, and Carneros are fermented and aged for six months in a mix of stainless steel and French oak, 35% of which is new. Some Musqué clone fruit is sourced from a grower in eastern Rutherford. They’ve truly captured freshness and minerality despite the warmer vintage. The wine builds in the glass with crisp, clean orchard fruit and subtle tropical notes, lifted by a squeeze of lemon and lime juice. There’s always great mid-palate richness to these wines, and in this vintage, it’s marked by bright minerality and lemon zest, with elegant orange peel, white floral notes, and subtle marzipan and crushed almond nuances.

The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of 77% Sauvignon Blanc and 23% Sémillon. It zips out of the glass with vibrant notes of green apples, gooseberries, and lime leaves, leading to hints of chalk dust, wild thyme, and coriander seed. The medium-bodied palate delivers a great intensity of citrus and orchard fruit flavors with a refreshing line and satiny texture, finishing zesty.

This full-bodied yet well-balanced wine shows good fruit richness on the nose while integrating more lively and bracing citrus flavors on the palate. A sense of underlying acidity and concentration help it expand as you sip. Drink now.
