WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Fresh, vibrant and floral with succulent citrus notes, the 2022 Illumination offers textured weight with juicy yellow apple, wax melon and citrus blossom notes. The palate surprises and delights with a fresh and lively mouthfeel that offers energetic acidity with even ripeness. This white blend will remain elegant for years to come.
Blend: 50% Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, 33% Sauvignon Blanc, 17% Semillon
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas of dried apple, pineapple and lemon with honey blossom follow through to a medium to full body with a lovely texture and a wonderful finish with phenolic framing and intensity. 83% sauvignon blanc and 17% semillon. Drink or hold.

Stunning and precise, with details of lemon verbena, litsea oil, pomelo and Himalayan salt, along with elements of Meyer lemon, lime zest and passion fruit on the long, succulent and juicy finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Drink now. 5,000 cases made.
- Wine Spectator, 93 pts.
Bright, refreshing and with some good fruit depth, this wine made from 50% Sauvignon Musqué can be sipped alone and will also pair nicely with lunch and appetizers. A touch of ripeness/sweetness softens the edges and amplifies the citrus and grassy flavors.
