Côte West Sauvignon Blanc Gianquinto Vineyard Russian River Valley 2019

Gianquinto Vineyard, located in a cool pocket of Russian River Valley, has striking red clay and Goldridge loam soils. When this fruit is ready to be harvested, it has mature fruit flavors yet fully-intact acidity.

This ideal chemistry makes it easy for us to fulfill our mission of minimal intervention in the winery. We handle the wine gently, which preserves the naturally-occurring dissolved CO2. This lifts fruit freshness and acidity. The maturation in 77% stainless steel and 23% neutral French barrels keeps this wine lively and balanced.

On the nose, this Sauvignon Blanc offers lime, passion fruit, honeysuckle, and floral notes. On the palate, this dry wine has zippy acidity and hints of peach and green apple.
