2023 Aperture Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, Alexander Valley, USA (750ml)
WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Blend: 82% Sauvignon Blanc, 18% Semillon
TASTING NOTES:
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc includes the addition of 20% Sémillon and was raised in a combination of French oak and a small portion of cement. Pouring a brilliant silver/straw hue, it takes on a distinctly Bordeaux Blanc-styled profile on the nose, with crystalline aromas of lemon candies, spices, tropical flowers, and fresh grapefruit. Medium-bodied, with a luxurious, rounded feel, it reveals a lot of refinement on the palate, offering a silky texture and a weightless, mouthwatering finish. It’s only going to improve if given the chance, but it’s delicious now. Drink 2025-2035.
- Jeb Dunnuck, 94 pts.
The wine opens with white flowers, Meyer lemon, rocky minerality and spice on the nose. The palate is broad, rich and long, with plenty of tension between the citrus-laden acidity and the plush texture lent by a little bit of Sémillon and barrel aging. This is among the best Sauvignon Blancs out there. Period.
- Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts.
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is blended with 20% Sémillon and was matured for six months in 30% new French oak. It has alluring aromas of white peach, green guava, beeswax, tarragon and flint. It floods the mouth with pure, layered flavors delivered in a satiny texture. It’s balanced by electric acidity and has a long, perfumed finish. Treat it like a Bordeaux Blanc and allow it to gain savory complexity in bottle over the next 5-8 years.
