About the wine
A show-stopping Sauvignon Blanc from sustainable vineyards in Lodi
- Bright and refreshing, full of crisp citrus and a wholesome, rounded mouthfeel.
- Karen captured all of the beautiful, delicate aromatics of the grapes in this wine. Living ½ mile up the road from the vineyard allows her to ensure she gets the fruit in absolute primo condition.
- Serve with vibrant salads, or Mexican dishes that are loaded with avocado and lime to see this wine in action. Más pico de gallo, por favor!

Amazing. Best S. Blanc I've had from any US producer. Loved the deep fruitiness and the smooth clean finish. I'll be buying more.

I love this wine, as have many guests. I am very sorry to see it sold out and want to thank you for the ~12 bottles we've enjoyed. Your petit syrah has been a huge hit as well - beloved for its relatively low tannin, warm and ripe fruit and medium body. I haven't had a "sipping red" in a long time that stands up to food so well, and my father, who does not drink reds usually, is a huge fan.

Hello Angels!
My 2016 Sauvignon Blanc has been released! This is my first wine from 2016, harvested August 15th. The grapes were grown by the Lange Family, the leaders in sustainable winegrape growing in the Lodi Appellation. The grapes are the Musqué clone, a clone not widely planted in California which produces an aromatic style Sauvignon Blanc which is more floral and fruity than many other Sauvignon Blancs.
To retain the bright fruit aromas and flavors, the grapes were harvested and pressed during the middle of the night, when the fruit temperature is the coolest. The juice was fermented in a stainless steel tank with a special yeast that is known to release aromatic compounds. The wine was aged “sur lie” (on yeast lees) in tank to enhance texture and flavors.
Just like last year, this wine has bright citrus aromas and tastes lively and refreshing with flavors of lime zest, gooseberry, guava, and lemon blossom.
So put a bottle into you next case and give it a try! I look forward to your reviews.
Cheers, Karen

Love the floral notes and citrus in the easy to drink wine! We paired it with pesto chicken sandwiches and had a party in mouths! If you haven't added this white to your list of faves, you haven't tried it yet....yum!

I’m not a regular drinker of Sauvignon Blanc, but I loved this. Just enough body, smooth, luscious.

Very fresh. Great flavors
I bought 2 bottles. The 1st one was NOT good. I sent a review, and stated I did not enjoy it. It was 'off'. I opened the 2nd bottle yesterday, and it was quite nice. I enjoyed this one. I must've had a 'bad' bottle. I'd order again. Quite nice!!
