2022 Ehret Knights Valley Sauvignon Blanc

WSI93+ The painstaking effort with which we crafted this singular expression of Knights Valley Sauvignon Blanc was worth every last second of the month-long ferment. Utilizing an extremely low-temperature tactic allowed us to enhance and concentrate the fruit expression this grape variety is so famous for. On the nose, tree-ripened Satsuma mandarin zest immediately blasts out of the glass! This enticing aroma continues onto the palate coupled with a minerality expressing the terroir of the wine’s noble origin. The lively zip of acidity that follows awakens the senses from the cornucopia of fruit that preceded, allowing more attention to be focused on the underlying notes of key lime pie and juicy crane melon. This forward presentation is followed by a clean, long finish that is reminiscent of biting into a ripe nectarine while relaxing on a hot summer day.
OB91 Coming from the Bavarian Lion Vineyards in the Knights Valley, this 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is very nicely textured, with layers of gooseberry, wet stone, spiced pear and cantaloupe flavors. Very neatly done, enjoy at a slightly warmer temperature to take in the outstanding range of flavors. Drink 2023-2029
