Tasting Notes:
The 2025 vintage shines pale golden straw, opening with layered aromas of lemon meringue, papaya, and kumquat. The palate unfolds with a ripe fruit core of Asian pear, poached white peach, and apricot, complemented by subtle hints of cantaloupe and nougat. Creamy in texture, this medium-bodied wine balances richness with vibrant acidity. Barrel fermented and aged in French Acacia oak; it finishes with poise and precision.

"The 2025 Church Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc swans out of the glass with showy notes of juicy peaches, fresh pears, and honeydew melon, followed by hints of elderflower, white pepper, and sea spray. The full-bodied palate is concentrated with a decadently oily texture and refreshing backbone, finishing long with lots of white pepper and chalky sparks."

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.
