2021 Sauvignon Blanc, Yamhill-Carlton (Estate)

From the beginning, this wine was made with the intention of developing intense aromatics and a rich palate of tropical fruits. The Sauvignon Blanc fruit was farmed independently from the remainder of the vineyard to promote the development of varietal flavors and the winemaking focused on preserving those delicate aromas and flavors all the way into the bottle. While the making of this wine is laborious and nerve wracking, the culmination of flavors and aromas in the wine are a pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc.
