Tasting notes
The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Grassini Family Vineyard is a gorgeous cuvée with the quality and character of a fine Bordeaux Blanc. Its herbal white peaches and lime peel aromas are accented with wafts of dried chamomile and flint, and the medium-bodied palate is satiny, detailed and expansive. It has energetic acidity, honeyed bass tones and incredible length—signs this might become more compelling with a bit of bottle age.

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Grassini Family Vineyard stands out in this range for its cut and focus. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and crushed rocks abound. This vibrant, super-expressive Sauvignon Blanc has so much to offer. Like all the Sauvignon Blancs in this range, the Grassini has plenty of depth. Dried pear, crushed flowers and mint linger.
I’d wager one of the finest examples of this variety in California, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Grassini Family Vineyard reveals a lighter gold hue as well as a brilliant array of crushed citrus, lime, fresh fig, green almonds, and crushed rock-like minerality. Based on 100% Sauvignon Blanc that was barrel fermented and aged in just 10% new French oak, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a concentrated, vibrant mouthfeel, bright and integrated acidity, and great finish. This puppy will keep for two decades.
