Routestock, Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, California 2021

80% Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Napa Valley Sémillon

The Routestock Sauvignon Blanc has an explosive nose of figs, honeydew melon and wild sage. The wine is expansive in the mouth with flavors of baked fig, nectarine, melon, and lanolin from the addition of Semillon. The wine is supple, rich, warm, and yet still quite crisp with wonderfully fresh acidity. The aftertaste lingers and lingers urging on the next sip.

Every RouteStock wine strives to balance the classic and the innovative, and this is especially true of the Sauvignon Blanc. This wine derives from two unique vineyards, one in Rutherford and the other in Carneros.

Aging: 7 months in 45% aged in 100% French oak: 8% new and 92% neutral; 35% in stainless steel; 20% in concrete egg.
