This white is fermented in French oak barrels, 30% of them new, and then aged in stainless steel—offering the best of both worlds. Quenching flavors of stone fruit highlight a rounded, rich palate, dusted in dried herb and earth.

Succulent, distinctive and wonderfully aromatic, with honeycomb, lanolin, lemon curd, dried mango, pineapple and baked yellow apple notes that leap from the glass. Spice, cardamom and matcha accents linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2030. 906 cases made. — MW

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is an ideal wine for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Bright lemon peel, sage, mint and white pepper give the 2019 lovely energy to match its translucent, steely personality. This is very nicely done.

This has aromas of lime zest, guava, green pepper and a touch of cardamom and white pepper. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Distinct green notes, but ripe and creamy, too. Drink now.

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint was fermented in French oak barrels, 30% new, and aged in stainless steel tanks. It comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery scents of fresh grapefruit, white peaches and green apples with a touch of dill seed. Medium-bodied, crisp, clean and refreshing, it delivers a great intensity of citrus and stone fruit flavors with a hint of chalkiness and a persistent herbal finish. 906 cases were made.
Blueprint 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has lovely aromas of lemon zest, orange blossom, pear and grapefruit. Adding further intrigue and complexity are flavors of nectarine, honeydew melon and vanilla. Exhibiting classic varietal vibrancy and zing, this is a beautiful expression of the varietal in a ripe and generous style.”
