Sauvignon Blanc

Wild Oak Vineyard

Sonoma County

Tasting Notes

This vibrant and expressive white wine bursts with bright notes of lemon verbena, ripe peach, and guava, complemented by bountiful aromatics and subtle floral characteristics. Layers of citrus and stone fruit unfold gracefully on the palate, leading to a rich, smooth finish. A touch of minerality and balanced acidity enhance the wine’s elegance, creating a beautifully rounded and refreshing profile.

Vintage Notes

After a wet winter, the 2025 spring growing season unfolded with mild temperatures, ideal for bud break and fruit set. The weather remained consistent through the summer, allowing slow and steady ripening and pushing our first pick date to late August. Cool evenings and intermittent rain showers in September and October meant early-season white varieties developed natural acidity and depth, while flavors and colors were allowed to intensify later in the season for the red varieties.

Vineyard Notes

All of the fruit for this lovely wine comes from our Certified Sustainable Wild Oak Vineyard located at the base of the majestic Sugarloaf Ridge and Hood Mountain in historic Sonoma Valley. Over the centuries, rock and gravel have washed down from the mountain range, providing an ideal soil for Sauvignon Blanc, while the region’s moderate climate prolongs ripening and hang time, promoting natural balance in this wine.

Winemaker Notes

To retain the bright flavors and crisp acidity of this varietal, the grapes were picked at dawn and arrived at the winery cold. The grapes were pressed, and a portion of the juice was sent directly to a stainless steel tank while the balance was sent to Acacia barrels for fermentation. The tank portion of the wine was fermented slowly at 55º for over 30 days, preserving the wonderful aromas of Sauvignon Blanc. We prevented malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine’s clean, crisp texture.
