2020 Los Carneros Sauvignon Blanch - Cuvaison

Squeezed lime, snow peas, fresh gooseberry. White grapefruit, black currant bud, green apple. Wonderfully bright and zippy beams of lemon juice, passion fruit, and underripe pear pulse with tart and electric intensity within a delightfully primary and youthful display. Notes of mint leaf, lemongrass, and asparagus casually provide streaks of fresh greenness balanced by hints of jasmine, elderflower, and lightly pungent floral tones. Suggestions of sea breeze and smooth stones impart gentle bits of clean earthiness subtly ingrained with impresions of minerality and salinity. Beautifully crisp, refreshing, and straightforward on the palate with plenty of lively zip and zing; exhibiting a classic and varietally-correct presentation that is simple and delicious. Medium minus in body and coursing with high acidity. This 2020 Los Carneros Sauvignon Blanc by Cuvaison is a thirst-quenching and enjoyable white from Napa Valley.

Located along the southern edge of Napa Valley and heavily influenced by the nearby San Pablo Bay, the region of Los Carneros is one of Napa's coolest growing zones and often produces wines of outstanding freshness and vibrancy. This bottling, crafted by Cuvaison using Sauvignon Blanc sourced from their estate vineyards in Los Carneros, playfully captures the terrific energy and drive this region's white wines can possess. This booms with classic Sauvignon Blanc flavors of tart green and yellow fruits interlaced with pleasant vegital charm, soft florals, and nice minerality. It is drinking excellently today and would be best enjoyed as soon as possible while its fruit is at its most exuberant and intense. Yum.
