2025 John Anthony Carneros Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes:
The 2025 vintage shows vibrant pale straw with aromas of kaffir lime, ripe mandarin, and delicate jasmine flower and honeysuckle. The palate is crisp, revealing white nectarine, guava, and fresh kiwi layered with bright citrus—ruby red grapefruit and lemon zest. Light-bodied and precise, a lingering acidity and subtle minerality carry through to a clean, refreshing finish.

"The 2025 Carneros Sauvignon Blanc zips out with energetic notes of green apples, fresh grapefruit, and lemonade, plus suggestions of wet pebbles and wild thyme. Full-bodied, the palate delivers citrus fruit flavors with a racy line and decadently oily texture, finishing long with a zesty lift"
Vintage Notes:
The 2025 growing season was marked by unusually cool, steady conditions and ample early moisture, leading to a long, even ripening period. The vintage is expected to yield balanced, elegant whites with energetic acidity, expressive fruit character, and classic Napa Valley character.
