Hourglass Sauvignon Blanc Napa 2023
Details
95 Points | CWA
“Wow - what a classic Sauvignon Blanc that will thrill white wine fans! You can’t miss the zesty citrus and characteristic yellow grapefruit, but with a few more swirls you’ll unveil layers of stone and tropical fruits like pear and pineapple. The bright acidity epically balances its fuller body (thanks to a touch of Semillon in the blend) leaving you with a mouthwatering finish. This deliciously refreshing Sauvignon Blanc is a crowd pleaser from start to finish. The bouquet conveys pear, golden delicious apples, and honeydew melon. The palate boasts Meyer lemon zest and culminates in a tangy finish. Enjoy now and anytime over the next 3 - 5 years.” - California Wine Advisors (9/2024)
Winemaker Notes
“Equally textural and refreshing, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc presents primary aromas of tropical and stone fruit taking center stage. Mango and guava are complemented by Meyer lemon, lime zest, and orange blossom. On the palate, crisp Granny Smith apple, zippy lemon balm, and honeyed nectarine intertwine with hints of brioche and wet stone minerality, providing nuanced layers of flavor. With 3% Semillon adding further depth, and a combination of steel and oak barrel ageing contributing to unparalleled texture. Frequent lees stirring adds mid-palate richness to offset the vibrant natural acidity, resulting in a well-balanced and harmonious finish.”
