2023 Scarlett ‘McGah Vineyard’ Sauvignon Blanc Rutherford

WSI93+ JD93 From vines planted in 1990 in Rutherford and barrel fermented, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc (Sauvignon/Semillon) has a vibrant, clean, crisp style as well as classic citrus, pineapple, and mint herb-like aromas and flavors. It’s beautifully balanced, has integrated acidity, and a great finish.
Estate Notes: 2023 was by far the best growing season in 10 years to ripen our old vine Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, and the wine demonstrates that in every dimension. This wine is a testament to the McGah Family Vineyard’s ability to harness the Rutherford sunshine and the seamless and elegant qualities of our distinct terroir. This limited production wine was barrel fermented in 100% French Oak, 15% new and remaining barrels are a mix of one- to three-year-old barrels which enhances the overall palate. Enjoy it in its youth for its snappy and fresh character or age 3-5 years to allow some hidden complexities to emerge. 369 cases produced.
