Hourglass Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (750 ml)

Tasting Notes For Hourglass Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Primary aromas of Honeydew melon, Meyer lemon zest and peach blossom with bright notes of Granny Smith apple, spearmint and fresh cut hay. On the palate, limeade, lemon meringue and Pippin apple intertwine with notes of brioche, honey and chamomile flowers. The addition of 5% Semillon, along with judicious barrel fermentation and frequent lees stirring, create beautiful texture and depth, with bright acidity and chalky minerality providing precision and balance on the long, lively finish.

Critic Ratings

Jeb DunnuckReview– Rated 92:Including 12% Semillon and mostly from 40-year-old vines in Calistoga (there’s 20% from Sonoma), the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc has a medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant, elegant profile that carries plenty of ripe grapefruits, honeyed flowers, and a touch of minerality. Brought up in 30% new oak, which has been completely absorbed, this classic Sauvignon is ideal for drinking over the coming 2-4 years.
