Tasting Notes: "This 2023 vintage comes from Napa Valley’s Los Carneros AVA, with the cool-climate conditions necessary for growing elegant Sauvignon Blanc. Deep straw hues shine in the glass. Aromas of Asian pear and citrus méringue with notes of white peach and lemongrass. Vibrant and lively textures saturate the palate with flavors of pineapple, mangosteen, and hints of tarragon. Crafted from a blend of 71% Musque and 29% Western Clone, the wine undergoes cold fermentation and is aged in stainless steel to preserve its true varietal character. Only 200 cases produced."

Vintage Notes: Described as “a vintage for the ages," the 2023 growing season surpassed all expectations. Early record winter rainfall set a perfect foundation, followed by a moderately warm spring which contributed to a later bud break, resulting in a slow ripening curve. Summer heat spikes guided cluster development on track and ensured optimal conditions for a later harvest with unparalleled grape quality and complexity.
