Tasting Notes

Crafted from sustainably farmed fruit sourced from Horse Heaven Hills and Yakima Valley, this vintage reflects Matthews’ updated viticultural practices and late harvest timing, which enhanced aromatic intensity and complexity. The wine opens with aromas of starfruit, lime zest, white currants, seashells, and gooseberry, alongside hints of meringue and hay. On the palate, it delivers tropical flavors of guava, lychee, and pineapple, with a Pina Colada-like blend of coconut and citrus, all wrapped in a creamy texture and zesty acidity. Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel, it maintains freshness and minerality, finishing with a steely, minty sheen. This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with grilled shrimp, ceviche, citrus-marinated chicken, goat cheese salads, and sushi rolls, offering versatility across a range of light and vibrant dishes.
