Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The wine shows a complex array of tropical fruit, grapefruit and limes all held together by an incredible mineral backbone. The palate is focused and racy, made in a style to be a wonderful foodcompanion. Best enjoyed with fresh line fish, oysters, sushi, crayfish and summer dishes in general.

Blend:97% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Semillon

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    The 2014 Sauvignon Blanc sees around 10% barrel aging, the rest in stainless steel, including 3% Sémillon. It has a crisp, grass clipping and asparagus-tinged nose that opens nicely with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a citrus opening, lively and focused with a precise, almost clinical finish that lingers long in the mouth. Ho-hum...another superb Savvy from CPV.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
