The Paring
Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Splendid—crisp, more fruit-forward, and the gooseberry and petrichor hint at the Savvy B of it all. It gives citrus, pineapple, and apple on the nose and palate, bleeding into handsome honeysuckle. REALLY good. Nuanced. It brings texture and evolves with time—more floral and gooseberry notes arrive.

May 9th, 2023Light yellow in the glass with glints of green. Fragrant nose of lemon custard, lime zest, lemongrass, and honeysuckle. The fruit character leans more to the tropical on the palate. A bit of Sémillon adds body but still crisp and refreshing with good acidity. Aged 1/3 in new French oak, 1/3 in neutral oak, and 1/3 in stainless steel. Very nice offering from Jonata’s second label.

Feb 4th, 2016Great acidity, tropical notes of guava and tangerine, dry, mineral-driven finish. Great wine from the Jonata winemaker. #sauvignonblanc #california #2013 #theparing
