2019 ‘Jason’ by Pahlmeyer Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

Aromas of lime verbena and orange blossom and hints of lemongrass radiate from the glass. The acidity matched with the texture create a palate that is crisp, yet long and juicy. On the finish, layers of pineapple and apricot play off a slight hint of green apple acidity. Our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with a wedge of triple crème brie.
VINTAGE NOTES
The 2019 growing season was particularly long for Sauvignon Blanc in the Napa Valley. With a slightly later harvest and longer hang time, the vintage developed a tropical style.
WINEMAKING NOTES
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were hand-sorted and gently pressed as whole clusters. The wine was fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels to highlight the beautiful acidity of the fruit, while enhancing its complexity. The vintage was barrel fermented in neutral oak. We extended contact with lees to impart a rich texture, which is balanced by the bright acidity of the wine.
