Winemaker Notes: The 2022 sauvignon blanc incorporates our estate-grown sémillion and sauvignonmusqué, that we planted on the Aperture property in 2019. These two estate blockswere hand-harvested in early Stepember at the same time as the Sauvignon Blancfrom Farrow Ranch in Geyserville. The sauvignon blanc from Dry Stack Vineyard inthe Bennett Valley AVA was brought to the winery in early October, consistent withthis vineyard’s unique late-ripening characteristics.
95pts Robert Parker: The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is blended with 16% Sémillon and was matured mostly in French oak (33% new) plus a smaller portion of cement tank. It's the first vintage where so much Sémillon has been included—since acquiring Farrow Ranch in 2021, winemaker Jesse Katz has been able to add some of that site's fruit into his Aperture wines. It has alluring tones of white peach, kumquat, meringue and crème brûlée on the nose, plus wafts of floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate offers expansive flavors that segue from candied citrus to guava and vanilla pots de crème. It has a luxuriously satiny texture balanced by focused acidity and a very long, flavorful finish.
