About the Wine:
The 2024 Twomey Sauvignon Blanc, a blend from two counties, beautifully marries tropical characteristics from Napa County with the floral and citrus characteristics from Sonoma County.
Tasting Notes:
The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc combines the concentrated depth of a warm vintage with the freshness that only an early harvest can preserve. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of white peach, Gravenstein apple and chamomile. The palate is rich yet delicate, offering a beautifully textured mouthfeel that’s lifted by vibrant acidity. A throughline of fresh minerality adds elegance, while the finish is fresh and persistent, making it both lively and refined. Perfect for immediate enjoyment, this wine captures the essence of California in a vintage defined by balance and complexity.
Vintage:
The 2024 vintage follows a season of early growth and warmth, marked by plentiful winter rains and quick spring temperatures that set the stage for a dynamic growing season. Three heat waves in July, although early, didn’t hinder the plants, which were well-hydrated and adapted seamlessly. With a compressed harvest window, we began picking on August 15 at our Twomey estate in Calistoga and completed harvest by September 7 at Merino Vineyard, reminiscent of the warmer 2021 and 2022 seasons.
Ratings & Reviews
93 Points - Decanter Magazine:
"Fragrant guava, passion fruit, seagrass, and smoky minerality lift from the glass, complemented by a savoury, just-picked pop of tarragon. Medium-bodied, with plump, juicy fruit on the palate, the wine is framed by a firm spine of racy acidity and finishes long on a chalky, mineral note. That palate-coating tropical fruit character lingers well beyond the saline-mineral thread’s graceful resolution. One of the most delicious and structured Sauvignon Blancs I’ve tasted from Twomey. Aged in French oak puncheons and barrels, stainless steel drums, and concrete, the blend includes 1% Semillon. (Drink between 2025-2032)" - Jonathan Cristaldi (May 2025)
93 Points - James Suckling:
"Green apples, Meyer lemons, jonquils and a hint of white chalk on the nose; The palate is richer and creamier than one might expect from a California sauvignon blanc, more like a Bordeaux blanc, with flavors of ripe mangoes and lime zest. A satisfying and delicious light- to medium-bodied wine. Drink now." (May 2025)
