The Vice Description
“The Vice” Sauvignon Blanc was crafted along the lines of fine white Bordeaux. The grapes were gently pressed as whole clusters and fermented in neutral French oak barrels. The wine was aged on
its lees in a combination of concrete eggs, neutral oak barrels and stainless steel for 4 months with monthly stirring. Seductive and inviting aromas of honeydew melon, kiwi and quince. Medium body with impressive depth on the palate. Persistent flavors of Meyer lemon and ginger with notes of pear, verbena and Italian basil. Excellent harmony of flavors from start to finish, perfectly balanced, stylish and brilliant! Enjoy now and over the next 4-6 years.
Batch #141 “The Vice”
Our 9th vintage Sauvignon Blanc was crafted from three distinctive vineyards. The spectrum of flavors of this wine makes it a great companion to an array of cuisines & occasions.
2023 Vintage
Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Winter will be remembered as the 10th wettest season on record in Napa with consistent rain that got us out of the extreme drought and with surprisingly no floods. Spring was poeticleading to a mild summer with no heatwaves whatsoever. Harvest was a
month behind compared to the past few years. The slow ripening helped the grapes reach a potential that we’ll be talking about for decades to come. Three Vineyards -Rutherford: Most of this wine comes from this vineyard. Blessed with sandy-clay loam soil that proved over the years to be an ideal spot for
growing world class Sauvignon Blanc. CCOF (California Certified Organic Vineyard) -Oakville: A tiny lot of Sauvignon blanc surrounded by prime land of Cabernet, on the north west corner of Oakville. USDA Certified Organic -Carneros: Located on the north eastern edge of Carneros, our vineyard experiences diurnal temperature swings of up to 40F during the summer which blesses the grapes with massive flavor concentration all while its maintaining fresh acidity.
