Brilliant hues of pale yellow and green present this white wine. Fresh aromas of grapefruit, kiwi, and fennel are intertwined with a vanillin thread, evidence of the element of subtle new French oak. Yellow grapefruit and lime zest flavors follow with the essence of ripe pear, while the toasted oak qualities of the barrel maturation have encouraged a round, rich mouth feel, along with the subtle creaminess of the sur-lie maturation. This is a crisp yet rich flavorful Sauvignon Blanc.

Also beautiful, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Cold Concrete Fermented Dollarhide Estate Vineyard has clean citrus, flowers, and a touch of minerality in its medium-bodied, balanced, incredibly elegant profile. Brought up all in concrete, it too is perfect for drinking over the coming 3-4 years.

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Dollarhide Estate Cold Concrete Fermented is a step up in complexity from the winery's estate effort, allowing hints of greenish herbals, less-ripe fig and nectarine notes and a more pronounced citrus spine. It's medium-bodied, a bit creamy from its brief lees contact yet crisp and refreshing, with a touch of wet stone on the lingering finish.
