2020 Estate Sauvignon Blanc - Cuvaison

Brilliantly tart and zippy bursts of green apple, lemon-lime, grapefruit, and white nectarine highlight a bright and delightfully expressive display playfully bursting with oodles of juicy fruit-driven refreshment. Notes of green bean, bell pepper, and mowed lawn pleasantly reveal a medley of fresh pyrazinic character that gently intersects with subtle floral tones of elderflower and dandelion. Delicate impressions of bitter herbs impart additional non-fruit complexity before vibrant streaks of stony minerality and fresh salinity make an appearance on the finish. Deliciously crisp, bright, and youthful on the palate while maining excellent purity and elegance throughout; exhibiting a tangy and food friendly presentation that expresses excellent typicity and reflection of place. Medium bodied and brimming with elevated acidity. This 2020 Estate Sauvignon Blanc by Cuvaison is a well made and classically-styled white from Los Carneros.

Located within both Napa and Sonoma Counties along the banks of the cool San Pablo Bay, the region of Los Carneros is a legendary cool climate growing zone long known as the source of some of Napa's greatest white wines. This bottling, crafted by Cuvaison using Sauvignon Blanc sourced from their estate vineyards on the Napa side of Los Carneros, once again proves the ability of this region to shape bright yet complex wine. This cheerfully bursts with tart and lively citrus, orchard, and stone fruits complimented by fresh grassy tones, understated florals, and clean minerality. This bright and energetic wine is ready for immediate enjoyment, and will pair perfectly with fresh summer salads and other traditionally hard-to-pair veggie dishes. Excellent.
