2023 Vintage Notes:
A winter of generous rainfall provided abundant soil moisture to start the 2023 growing season. Wet and cold winter soils contributed to timely bud break while a cool early spring prolonged the development from bud break through bloom. Thanks to the abundant soil moisture, the canopies flourished, ensuring the vines had ample resources for ripening the crop. Bloom occurred in June under ideal conditions, with perfect temperatures and humidity for a successful fruit set. The warmth of summer brought the growing season to a close with excellent ripening of our Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, keeping their freshness and minerality in balance. The optimal exposure of the clusters of Sauvignon Blanc helped the development of floral and citrus aromas in the fruit at the end of maturation. Our Sauvignon Blanc harvest began on August 25th and concluded on September 15th.
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes:
The 2023 Inglenook Sauvignon Blanc offers a refreshing burst of lime zest on the nose, accompanied by the crisp scent of fresh cut grass. The wine showcases a distinct minerality, with a flinty character reminiscent of the mineral-rich soils of Mt. St. John. This wine is lively and invigorating, with a clean, focused finish that highlights its natural freshness.
