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.

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.
