2023 CADE Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Oakville

The 2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of white peach, white flowers, lemongrass, kiwi, honeydew melon, and honeysuckle. On the palate are flavors of green melon, citrus, orange blossom, lemon curd, and pear. The texture of the wine is silky, creamy, and yet vibrant. The addition of Viognier adds viscosity and a floral note to the wine that is very intriguing and complex. The wine has beautiful minerality, acidity, and texture.

“It was a unique vintage in Napa Valley, and, therefore, I think it is one of the best Estate Sauvignon Blanc blends we have ever made. The fruit from the Estate is some of the most intense and delicious yet perfectly balanced in chemistry and flavor. It is an honor and a privilege to work with this fruit.” — Winemaker Danielle Cyrot
