2021 Estate Moon Mountain Sauvignon Blanc - Theorem Vineyards

An irresistibly zesty and energetic fruit core bursting with squeezed lemon, tart kiwi, juicy grapefruit, and green apple highlights an enticingly deep yet lively attack brimming with delicious earthy notes of crushed rock, wet concrete, and delicate salinity. A flutter of mint leaf gently contributes clean herbal character while pleasant hints of dewy lawn and asparagus impart textbook grassy charms. Slightly pungent floral tones of elderflower and citrus blossom round out the display with bright and buoyant freshness that fades into intriguing streaks of stony minerality. Brilliantly tense, tart, and mouth-tingling on the palate while maintaining a remarkable sense of balance and elegance; exhibiting a nervy and crisp yet surprisingly concentrated presentation that comes across as simultaneously powerful and pretty. Medium-plus bodied and booming with pronounced acidity. This 2021 Estate Moon Mountain Sauvignon Blanc by Theorem Vineyards is an edgy yet amplified white from Sonoma County. 

New World Sauvignon Blanc is typically made in one of two distinct styles: lean, linear, and grassy, or rich, oaky, and round. This bottling, crafted by Theorem Vineyards using Sauvingnon Blanc grown at their estate vineyards in Moon Mountain, beautifully exhibits a unique third style that toes the line between the other two. This wine possesses an immensely bright citrus-led fruit profile that is notably deep and dense despite its intensity, and backs this with pretty herbal and grassy tones, lifted florals, and beautifully mineral earthiness. It is downright delicious immediately upon release yet has sufficient stuffing to cellar well, and would be an intriguing candidate to lay down for 3-5 years to allow for some tertiary development. Outstanding.
