2023 Cattleya 'Alma de Cattleya' Sauvignon Blanc RRV/Sonoma County
Why Michael F. loves this wine: Nimble as a gymnast, this Sauvignon Blanc is sly with the way it explodes with notes of lemon-orange rind, green apple, and a mouthwatering saline acidity.
Winemaker Notes: Fruit for our Sauvignon Blanc is grown primarily in the Russian River Valley and along the Sonoma Coast. The grapes are harvested at night and immediately sorted at the winery. After pressing, the juice settles overnight. The juice is then carefully transferred to neutral oak barrels and stainless steel tanks for fermentation, preserving the unique and intense aromatics of the varietal.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "Potent aromas of gooseberry, jalapeño and lime pith jump from the glass of
this high-acid Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is bracing, with pithy lemon, grapefruit and lime flavors.
The heat of capsicum persists on the finish. "
