Moon Hollow 2017, Moon Mountain, Sauvignon Blanc

This is the bottle you bring to remind people that whites can age, too. It has something to say, and it says it softly with a touch of stone fruit and salt.

Tasting Notes: With a little bottle age, this Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier blend has softened and deepened in all the right ways. Aromas of dried white peach, preserved lemon, and a hint of beeswax lead the nose, while the palate has gained texture and quiet complexity. The once-bright minerality has mellowed into something rounder and more layered. Still fresh, but more contemplative than it once was, it’s a beautiful match for richer seafood, aged cheeses, or simply a slower meal.

Varietals: 95% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Viognier
