Core Collection
2024 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

- $40/bottle under the original label

Core Collection | 2024 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from a highly decorated producer in what many critics consider ground zero for the greatest Sauv Blanc grapes in America – Dry Creek Valley, which pioneered the modern Californian identity of the varietal beginning in the early 1970s. A 100% Sauvignon Blanc program developed over decades, this is a true crème de la crème marriage of world-class fruit, deft winemaking technique, and old-school sensibility. Declassifying the label from Dry Creek to Sonoma County means this magnificent refresher that showcases the region's signature complexity and intensity is available at an incredible Bottle Shop price!

A vivid, bright nose announces itself with Meyer lemon, grapefruit, lime, eucalyptus, and garden herbs, all delineated across a strong mineral spine. The palate delivers on the promise of the nose: beautifully textured and weighted, the wine unleashes guava, lemon oil, and a saline thread, the juicy fruit held in check by acidity that is woven through with precision rather than imposed upon. Fumé-styled with light oak presence, this is an expressive, refined wine that finishes with a flicker of ginger spice and accents of wet stones, echoed by citrus oil, white florals, and herbs persisting with great length. Brilliant.
