Heady aromas of herbs and spices fill the nose with the first sniff. They continue their dramatic march on the palate, exuding tangy lemon and lime notes laced with ginger, thyme and chives. Good, lively acidity provides the refreshment and palate cleansing that people love in Sauvignon Blanc.

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.

Stunning, this opens with aromatics of jasmine and lemon blossoms, while the core is loaded with vivid flavors of lime, yuzu and mango, along with succulent touches of salted ripe melon. Reveals hints of lemongrass and matcha on the long, expressive and polished finish.

Aromas of candied citrus, ruby grapefruit and green honeydew melon followed by tarragon and wet stones. Medium-bodied, refreshing acidity with underlying chalky notes on the palate. Crisp and pleasing white with great tension.

Bright citrus and grapefruit with some honeyed, minty herbs notes all emerge from the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint, a medium-bodied, supple, wonderfully pure, and vibrant style on the palate that brings good richness and depth while staying fresh and vibrant.
