Checkerboard Sauvignon Blanc 2024
A beautifully poised new Sauvignon Blanc that drinks with the cool precision of top Bordeaux Blanc, yet boasts a sunlit California generosity of fruit. The bouquet is invigorating with tangerine zest, a hint of kiwi, and white peach, touched by a delicate, lightly reductive flourish that adds intrigue. On the palate, it’s crisp, elegant, and thoroughly refreshing: stonefruit and citrus glide across a creamy, seamless texture, while a chalky edge and thrilling tension keep everything bright and lifted. Subtle oak plays a supporting role, leading to the mouthwatering finish that demands another sip.
