The 2023 vintage offers a very pure expression of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, a captivating balance of weight and intensity with bright, fresh acidity. Aromas of lemongrass, orange blossom, pink grapefruit, and Key lime pie are mirrored on the focused, layered palate. A dynamic interplay of ripe fruit, rich sur lie texture, and brisk acidity amplifies and extends through the mid-palate, introducing hints of white pepper and crushed rock. The finish is long and mouthwatering, the bracing high notes slowly melting into an echo of candied grapefruit peel. 

Drink this bright, sunny wine well chilled, around 45-50°F. It’s a fantastic aperitif, easy to sip on its own, especially al fresco. Pair this mouthwatering wine with ahi carpaccio with a citrus relish, heirloom tomato bruschetta, or grilled scallops with mango salsa.

My intention with Jayson Sauvignon Blanc is to make a wine that is incredibly bright and energetic with a beautiful purity of fruit bolstered by a broad, textural midpalate. In the vineyard, I manage the canopy to encourage early ripening with acidity retention. I’m blending acid-driven valley floor fruit with intense, ripe fruit from our mountain vineyards that’s given longer hang time to fully evolve, a range of ripeness bringing nuance and detail. Lees are stirred just enough to impart a balancing richness while retaining freshness. The finished wine is a complete package of energy and crispness, complexity and depth.

100% Sauvignon Blanc, 100% barrel-fermented then aged on its lees in neutral oak barrels for six months.

Unctuous and generous aromatics rise from the glass followed by abundant flavor. A mix of tropical and stone fruits squeezed with lemon dance with a sprinkle of energizing sea salt. Pleasing, pleasantly textural and delicious. -E.C.B.
