“'Parcel 3' gained its name from the beloved vineyard block that produces especially aromatic Sauvignon Blanc for the Pope Valley estate. Capturing both fruit purity and textural richness, this is a compelling and poised white wine. Citrus zest and pith combine with white tea flower. A sprinkle of sea salt emerges in the finish creating a refreshing and palate stimulating finish.”

“A full-bodied, rich and rounded white that’s also well balanced. It shows grapefruit, honeydew melon and mineral flavors on an expansive texture that has a good vein of acidity to keep it lively. Drink now or hold.”

“Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel (15% goes into wood), the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Parcel 3 is made in a ripe, plump style, with notes of nectarine, guava and fig. It's medium- to full-bodied, with a silky texture and a lingering, citrus-tinged finish.”

“There’s plenty of harmony to this white’s Key lime, fresh lemon zest and tangerine flavors, with details of freshly grated ginger, crunchy star fruit and pineapple. Gains momentum on the finish, where lemongrass and thyme emerge, with impressive torque to the acidity, which lingers. Drink now. 644 cases made.”
