The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Cymbal bursts from the glass with an intense mix of crushed grapefruit, sage and freshly-cut grass. This is luxuriously soft and round, with ripe mineral-tinged nectarines and sweet spices wonderfully balanced by a core of saline minerality. It finishes dramatically long and spicy, with a sour melon tinge that leaves the mouth watering for more. The 2022 Cymbal is one of the most refined Washington State Sauvignon Blancs I have come across.

This blend of blocks from multiple noted vineyards was fermented in a mix of barrels, concrete tanks and stainless steel, including about 25% new French oak. An enticing aroma of citrus, herbs and spices draws you in, then tangy lemongrass, green-apple and grapefruit flavors emerge. Drink now or hold.

Crushed citrus, chalky minerality, lemon curd, and white flower notes all emerge from the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Cymbal, a terrific Sauvignon Blanc that's medium-bodied, balanced, has racy yet integrated acidity, and a great finish.

Pear, nectarine and dusty incense aromas trigger numerous repeat sniffs of the glass. The flavors of lime zest, nectarine and quinine water, however, will snap you out of that scent trance. The wine's brisk acidity and crisp mouthfeel are more refreshing than a nap.
