2022 Plinth Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc welcomes with the bright aroma of lemon zest, followed by soft, sweet white apricot and honeydew notes. As the wine opens, a deeper, floral bouquet appears, notably orange blossom and jasmine and an ever so slight herbaceous quality of dill. On the palate, initial hints of sweetness lead to a creamy and balanced front palate. The acidity dominates the mid-palate, bringing up flavors resembling lemon pie and a refreshing spiciness that adds dimension to the wine, culminating in a long and pleasant finish.

Plinth Wine began as a love letter from Flora and Jason Chang (Nine Suns) to their cherished Houyi Vineyard sitting atop Pritchard Hill. Like any good story, we must venture to the beginning.

Under the winemaking direction of Philippe Melka and continued relationship with Realm Cellars, Plinth produces its own expression of Pritchard Hill with a very limited batch of Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard wines and choreographs Bordeaux blends and white varietals that celebrate wine as a foundational element of a life well-lived. The team is supported by Maayan Koschitzky and Patricio Paso Viola.
