This north-facing limestone site is cool and late ripening. In a warm year like 2019 its quality soars. There is such a fine acidity and outstanding length. I was really blown away by this, and can’t wait to see how the fruit and acidity entwine further with some bottle age. Nervous and tense, this warrants attention.

The 2021 growing season was preceded by mild and dry winter weather from January through March. Winter rainfall was largely absent across Northern California and the Napa Valley entered the growing season with rain totals that ranged from 40 to 60% below normal and had temperatures that were two to three degrees warmer than average.

The grapes for this elegant and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc were night harvested from our finest highest quality vineyards in the Jerusalem Mountains. The nose displays lifted, rich citrus and melon fruit, and finishes with a refreshing minerality.
