Carmel Road 2022 Sauvignon Blanc

The 2022 vintage in Monterey was marked by a cool, steady growing season with significant marine influence from the nearby Pacific Ocean. Morning fog and afternoon breezes provided ideal conditions for Sauvignon Blanc, allowing for slow, even ripening and retention of natural acidity. These conditions enhanced aromatic intensity and created a wine with lively freshness, balanced fruit, and bright structure: perfect for a clean, coastal white like this one.

Tasting Notes:
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc opens with lifted aromas of lime blossom, grapefruit, and fresh-cut grass, accented by subtle notes of white peach and passionfruit. On the palate, it is bright and lively, featuring flavors of lemon zest, green melon, and a hint of wet stone minerality. The texture is crisp and refreshing, with a mouthwatering acidity that leads to a clean, vibrant finish echoing with citrus peel, herbaceous notes, and a touch of salinity.
