Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc 2022
(California) - [WS 91, #31 Top 100 of 2023] [JS 90]

Winemaker Notes:
To preserve the wine’s fruit and natural acidity, the wine underwent a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the lots are blended, taking care to balance the characteristics of each vineyard in the wine.

APPELLATION: California – Napa, Sonoma, Lake County, Mendocino, Lodi, Monterey, Santa Barbara

BARREL: 100% Stainless Steel

Vineyard Notes: Fruit from vineyards in Napa and Sonoma add good flavor, minerality, and complexity. Lake County fruit adds citrus notes while grapes from Mendocino lends color and fruit-forward flavors. Fruit from the warmer Lodi appellation adds concentration to the wine while vineyards in Monterey offer tropical aromatics and well-balanced acidity. Within Santa Barbara, fruit from the cooler, marine-influenced vineyards add crisp, clean minerality and well-balanced acidity while fruit from vineyards located more inland experience morning coastal fog and afternoon winds, adding to the wine’s tropical notes. Blending fruit from these varied growing regions across California creates a balanced, food-friendly wine

Tasting Notes from the Winemaker:
Our 2022 California Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of white peach, honeydew melon, guava, and passionfruit with citrus notes. On the palate, the wine opens with tropical fruit flavors followed by crisp, refreshing acidity on the mid-palate and notes of tangerine and grapefruit on the long, clean balanced finish.
