Varietal Sauvignon Blanc

The green skinned grapes of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal had their origins in Southern France, where they are still widely grown and used for many of the excellent young and aged white wines the region is famous for. Today, however, they are grown in almost every wine producing country in the world, and are widely revered for their fresh and grassy flavors, full of tropical notes and refreshing, zesty character. Sauvignon Blanc grapes thrive best in moderate climates, and ripen relatively early in the year. This has made them a favorite for many wineries in the New World, where they can still produce healthy and high yields in the earlier part of the summer before the temperatures become too hot. Too much heat has a massively adverse effect on Sauvignon Blanc, as the grapes become dull in their flavor, and the wine produced from them loses all its unique character and high points. As such, Sauvignon Blanc farmers have had a lot of trouble from global warming and climate change, as they are being forced to harvest their crops increasingly earlier in the year when it is cool enough to do so.

Country United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Appellation Napa Valley

When it comes to New World wines, and especially wines from the United States of America, Napa Valley is something of a standard bearer. Over its relatively short history, it has managed to transform itself from being a fairly insignificant region, to becoming one of the most important and highly regarding wine locations on earth. With an ideal climate for viticulture, blazing sunshine and a low level of rainfall, this valley is shielded on many sides by mountain ranges which help it maintain a consistent level of heat, light and moisture throughout the year. Today, Napa Valley is a home of innovation and quality, with dozens of grape varietals thriving in the fertile soils. However, the main varietals grown there have always been Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel, and the wines they produce are constantly lauded by critics and competitions across the globe.

Wine Enthusiast

Heady aromas of herbs and spices fill the nose with the first sniff. They continue their dramatic march on the palate, exuding tangy lemon and lime notes laced with ginger, thyme and chives. Good, lively acidity provides the refreshment and palate cleansing that people love in Sauvignon Blanc.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is a blend assembled from several sources. St. Helena, Yountville and Coombsville are all represented here. It was fermented in barrel (mainly used French oak) but matured in stainless steel. The result is a bit grassy and herbal but also ripe, with elements of fig, pear, melon and citrus. There are tons of fruit and a creamy texture on the medium to full-bodied palate, plus a lingering, lusciously ripe finish.

James Suckling

Aromas of candied citrus, ruby grapefruit and green honeydew melon followed by tarragon and wet stones. Medium-bodied, refreshing acidity with underlying chalky notes on the palate. Crisp and pleasing white with great tension. Drink or hold.

The Wine Independent

The 2022 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc rockets from the glass with powerful notes of juicy peaches, fresh mango, and pink grapefruit followed by hints of citron blossom, white pepper, and dill seed. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a decadently satiny texture and oodles of freshness to support the generous citrus and tropical fruit flavors, finishing lifted.

Jeb Dunnuck

Bright citrus and grapefruit with some honeyed, minty herbs notes all emerge from the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint, a medium-bodied, supple, wonderfully pure, and vibrant style on the palate that brings good richness and depth while staying fresh and vibrant.

VM 90pts

Vinous Media

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint shows a bit more textural richness than in most years, a result of the warm, dry growing season. Orchard fruit, mint, white flowers and peach are nicely built in this textured, dry white.
