Purity Wine
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon - Lolonis Vineyard - Mendocino, CA

Organic, Dry farmed, 50+ yr old vines, harvested 10/11/19, pressed 11/25/19, bottled 12/19, consumed 3-17-20. Ingredients: Grape juice, fermented to wine. 13.5% ABV. Only natural occuring sulfites.

Proper well balanced fresh natty wine, decent acidty, bit tart, smells clean for a natty wine, some yeast sediment visible in bottle, slight fresh yeast note (freshly baked yeast dinner rolls) within the violet and plum scent gravel/cement note, wine is clear and a nice cab color.

Its good, and would happily repurchase. Amazed how non-negatively-impactful fresh natty wines can be.
Keep up the good work! — 6 years ago

Still alive. Speaking in whispers rather than shouting. Kinda like a cool, youthful, grandpa.

Some fruit left, mostly dried. Tertiary notes abound: caramel, toffee, earthiness. Super resolved tannin and still some acid.

Color me surprised. — 11 years ago

Remix Wines — Old Vines White 2019 — Redwood Valley, Mendocino County, California. United States 🇺🇸

Overview:
A California-crafted white blend created by Master Sommelier Willie Scherer under the Remix Wines label, driven predominantly by old-vine Sauvignon Blanc planted in 1942 by the Lolonis family in Redwood Valley, with a smaller portion of Sémillon layered in for texture and depth. The style nods toward a Bordeaux Blanc sensibility while expressing bright California energy and vineyard heritage.

Aromas & Flavors:
Fresh grapefruit, white pear, ripe apricot, subtle citrus oil, light oak influence, and a clean mineral thread.

Mouthfeel:
Bright, dry, and energetic with a creamy mid-palate texture. Lively acidity keeps the wine lifted while subtle oak and old-vine concentration add quiet richness and length.

Food Pairings:
Grilled halibut or sea bass, roast chicken with herbs, citrus-driven salads, goat cheese, shellfish, or lightly spiced Mediterranean dishes.

Personal Pick:
This is not your everyday white blend — it scratches my Bordeaux Blanc itch while keeping a distinctly Californian personality. I love it as a conversation bottle when I want to surprise people who think they’ve “seen it all” in Sauvignon Blanc.

Verdict:
A distinctive, old-vine-driven white delivering complexity, texture, and originality. Excellent for adventurous palates and collectors of character-driven blends.

🍷 Did You Know?:
Redwood Valley in Mendocino is home to some of California’s oldest Sauvignon Blanc plantings, where cool nights and old-vine concentration produce wines with remarkable freshness, texture, and age-worthy structure. — a year ago

13% alc.
Holding up beautifully (for being from the in my mind over-rated 1997 vintage) with a soft, elegant structure that suggests some Merlot must have been included.
A very nice showing that should continue to drink well for another 5 years.
2nd day: Tasted again after 24 hours open and still drinking well. — 11 years ago

Nose has under-ripe peach, lemon zest, cold chalk and wet beach sand.

Palate has pineapple core, dried lemon, sea spray and dehydrated peach.

Nice balanced acidity, no real herbal notes to speak of, a different expression than the traditional style. This wine should have a long life ahead, drink 2024-31.

The inaugural, single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc for Saracina from the Lolonis Vineyard; possibly some of the oldest SB vines in the US, planted in 1942.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
