2020 Lieu Dit Sauvignon Blanc [V93]

"The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant, wonderfully expressive wine. White flowers, sage, mint, tobacco leaf and crushed rocks confer energy to a wine that is all about tension and translucent energy. Vineyard sites are McGinley and China Blue." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"A combination of both tank and barrel fermentations that are aged in neutral barrels. Lieu Dit sources their fruit from three vineyards in Happy Canyon called Grassini, McGinley, and Star Lane. Varying soils of sand, shale, and gravel at Star Lane and heavier clays with larger yellow and red chert and serpentine rocks at both McGinley and Grassini.  The wine is super elegant and high toned with great acidity. Lots of stoning mineral notes, citrus, melon and white flowers."
