Lot 463 | 2023 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

Lot 463
2023 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

750ml

$60/bottle under the original label

An apex white wine from a blue-chip estate that’s one of the most recognizable names in all of wine country that started as a small passion project to accompany their reds-only lineup. Routinely garnering 93-96 points from top critics under its original label, Lot 463 is a stunning Bordeaux-style white, made with all the bells and whistles from some of the finest vineyard sites in California.

A scintillating invitation of gooseberry and green melon leaps out of the glass, gracefully interwoven with apple and citrus blossoms. Immaculate on the entry, it awakens the palate with supple texture and minerality framed by medium+ acidity, followed by nuances of slate and fresh limes. The finish is pristine, fresh, and further accentuates the palate profile with its lingering intensity. Gorgeous now, but the ceiling of its elegance will only rise in the years to come.

Reviews

Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc, lot 463

"We are enjoying wines from De Negoce, especially white wines. I have reordered several SB's many times. Delicious!"

— Henry Y. (5/5)

The Best Sauvignon Blanc from DeNegoce

"This is our favorite deNegoce Sauvignon Blanc of all time. We absolutely love it. Perfectly balanced with excellent fruit and exquisite acidity. It is really hard to keep from drinking our entire stash."

— MOC (5/5)

Flavorful Sauv Blanc.

"We enjoyed this Sauvignon Blanc very much. Nice balance of fresh fruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc is our favorite white grape varietal but have become disappointed of late as they have tended to become too grapefruit or grassy. This one is more to our traditional tastes."

— Steven T. (5/5)

Lot 463 Is Amazing

"Really appreciate the team at DeNegoce sourcing multiple lots of Sauvignon Blanc which is a staple at our house. They are all great, but 463 stands out among the rest. Maybe it's the 10% semillion that rounds out the palate but this wine is exceptional. We served it at our wedding reception and have a couple of cases stocked away that are going fast."

— M.A. O. (5/5)

Awesome Sauvignon Blanc

"This one really made the mark for us and at this price point we would definitely purchase again. Great balance of fruit, zestiness, acidity and all that you are looking for in a California Sauv Blanc. Enjoyed it as a sipper and complimented our meal of grilled chicken extremely well."

— S B. (5/5)

Real Good

"Just what I would except from Sonoma CSB."

— Chuck N. (5/5)

Great Value

"This Sauvignon Blanc has a great fresh smell with notes of gooseberry, green melon, and citrus. It’s got a nice, smooth texture with a good zing of acidity and flavors of lime and a little mineral edge. The finish is clean and refreshing, making it perfect for just about any occasion."
