INK GRADE SAUVIGNON BLANC NAPA 2019

Description

This Sauvignon Blanc expresses tropical components of passionfruit, honeydew, and grapefruit due to the ample sunlight hours present in our vineyard. The volcanic tufa soils and unique ripening conditions add an herbal and mineral backdrop of lemongrass and slate. We farm vigilantly to retain these aromatics while at the same time preserving the natural acidity that is needed to keep these wines lifted and never heavy. We are extremely proud of the poise in this wine and know that it will be a pillar for Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. 2020 VINTAGE HIGHLIGHTS The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of extraordinary precision and nuance. Sourced from vines planted in 1996 in volcanic soil, the nose expresses aromatic white flowers, notes of flint, and citrus curd. The medium-bodied palate carries the integration of oak with grace and sophistication, supported by a racy backbone and subtly creamy texture. A beautiful balance between opulence and tension, the finish is long and mineral laced.
