Hourglass Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2024
(Napa & Sonoma County, California)

Notes from the Winemaker:
Both vibrant and texturally complex, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc opens with bright aromas of lemon, orange blossom, lime leaf, and pomelo, layered with hints of lemongrass, fresh-cut hay, and honeyed graham cracker. The palate unfolds with lively flavors of grapefruit and mango, balanced by the warmth of Biscoff cookies, cardamom, and almond paste. A distinctive wet stone minerality provides depth and elegance, while a careful balance of steel and oak aging enhances the wine’s structure. Lees stirring contributes to a round, mid-palate richness, complementing the wine’s natural acidity for a refreshing yet layered finish.

Ratings and Reviews:

90 Points - Vinous (2023 v.)
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is bright and crystalline. Lemon peel, crushed rocks, mint, sage and slate are all finely delineated in this nervy, taut white. There's a bit less new oak in the 2023, which further amplifies that tension.
