WNH virtual tasting. 18’Dragonette Happy Canyon Santa Barbara Sauvignon Blanc
Passion fruit, guava, grassy notes on the nose.
The palate is flavorful as well as citrusy, lemon oil, honeysuckle, grass & wet stone accents. Weighty in texture, this wine is defined by a bright freshness & balanced acidity.

For a entry-level SB, certainly worth looking into at $30. Their other 3-single vineyards are selling for $50 & need some time in the bottle. Received a bottle of each of the SB single vineyards, tasted better on day 2. Cheers.

Happy canyon it’s certainly turning out some fantastic SB’s

Its a beaut. It feels like a whole new style of Sav Blanc. Great weight and integrated acid.

Tons of tropical fruit on the nose. Spices and warm. Initially, some cat pee, but that dissipated almost immediately. Palate is slightly hot, but with a creamy round texture, a ton of spices and salted citrus fruit. Well balanced and pretty intense.
