Tasting notes
86% Sauvignon Blanc, 14% Sémillon sourced from Rancho Pequeño. Pale lemon with a hint of green. Taut, minerally nose with an undertone of tart green grapes and peel. Racy high acidity with just a peek of oak underneath and a broadening out on the finish. Lengthy. I think this would show better in a year. (SCJ)

Based on 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Aisana emerges from Bart and Daphne Araujo’s home vineyard, Rancho Pequeño. This Bordeaux Blanc-styled effort offers beautiful aromas of lemon and honeyed white flowers. Medium-bodied, round, and impeccably balanced, it shows a lush, soft, beautifully textured mouthfeel. Pure, focused, and elegant, with impressive length, it will drink brilliantly over the coming 3-5 years.
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Aisana is all fruit from Bart and Daphne Araujo's Rancho Pequeno. It offers a beguiling mix of citrus peel, white flowers, slate and crushed rocks, with just a touch of mid-palate creaminess for breadth. I very much admire the tension and energy here.
