2022 Twomey Sauvignon Blanc
| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nThe tropical fruit flavor of guava and papaya are derived from our Oakville and Calistoga estate vineyards, while fresh, crisp minerality is a classic Sonoma County expression of the grape. Sourced from four estate vineyards, including Silver Oak Oakville Estate and a vineyard in Calistoga on the Napa side, which supplies the Sauvignon Gris from just an acre and a half, and then three Sonoma County sites, including Merino VIneyard in the Laguna Ava of Santa Rosa, the Healdsburg Estate Vineyard and Sei Querce Vineyard. A lovely nose of apricots, yellow apples, and dried hay. Broadens on the palate, with richness and a plethora of baking spices alongside emerging creamy white peach and Mirabelle fruits. Floral nuances of jasmine add intrigue through a nice saline mineral finish. It is incredibly pleasant and resolves with a high-toned spicy note that keeps it altogether lively and persistent.\r\nDecanter 91 Points\r\nBlend: 91% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sauvignon Gris, 1% Chardonnay, 1% Semillon\r\n\r\nAbout Twomey\r\nTwomey was founded 20 years ago by the Duncan Family of Silver Oak to make dynamic, vineyard-focused wines.\r\nOver the years, our passion opened exciting new doors to cool climate vineyard opportunities.
