2020 Sebastiani Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma Valley
Winemaker Notes
Our 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is a bright and refreshing wine with aromas of lemon meringue and a mineral note of scratched flint. The palate is lively with fruit flavors of green apple, citrus and young pineapple core. The finish is crisp and zesty and leaves you wanting another sip. Enjoy in its youth.

Production Notes
The grapes were harvested and delivered to the winery early and cool and then sent direct to press for a gentle cycle to extract the best cuts of the juice. The juice was then settled for two days prior to racking to tank to initiate primary fermentation. Upon dryness the wine was moved to a combination of neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel for six month of aging.
Vineyard Notes
Sonoma Valley is the largest AVA in Sonoma and is known for its
diverse terroir and ability to produce a wide range of wine grapes.
The fruit for our 2020 Sauvignon Blanc was sourced from the
Wildwood Vineyards in the heart of Sonoma Valley or ‘Valley of the
Moon’ as made famous by author Jack London. This site features in
fertile, loamy soils on the valley floor, which is the ideal growing
conditions for Sauvignon Blanc.
