VINEYARD
Vineyard: The fruit for this wine comes primarily from a section in the legendary To Kalon Vineyard known as Monastery Block. The well-drained, low-fertility soils and optimal sun exposure enable the development of rich, complex flavors, impeccable phenolic maturity, and beautiful varietal character across the vineyard. The Monastery Block produces a singularly expressive, alluring Sauvignon Blanc. A small amount of Semi I Ion adds a creamy roundness to the finished wine.
Vintage: Vintage 2024 was a textbook-perfect vintage in Napa Valley. Heavy rains during wintertime allowed us to replenish our reservoirs, and a warmer and dry season allowed perfect ripeness. Grapes were harvested from August 21 through October 27. The wine was aged for 10 months in 20.5% new French oak.
