2024 Gemstone "Facets" Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Bright, focused, and lifted, with fine acid tension and a fragrant and zesty squeeze of citrus. Orchard fruits of pear and green apple lead the way, followed by underripe tropical notes redolent of white peach and apricot. There is excellent fruit weight, balanced by restrained fruit sweetness, and the aromatics are especially inviting, echoing the palate with an added layer of subtle white floral character. Fruit is sourced from Rutherford, Yountville, and Oak Knoll. (JC)
