Pahlmeyer Jayson Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2021

"The Aurora Point Sauvignon Blanc radiates exotic fruit and power, representing the capability of high elevation Sauvignon Blanc. The 2019 Aurora Point exudes aromas from the glass of underripe white peach, basil and green apple. A palate full of zesty acidity melds with a luxurious mouthfeel merged by flavors of mandarin, lemon tart and lemongrass." —winemaker

"The 2021 Captûre Sauvignon Blanc from high atop Pine Mountain is as fresh and intriguing as the vineyard itself. Explosive aromas of key lime, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and pineapple slowly subside allowing the softer notes of white peach, green apple, lemon meringue and orange blossom guide you into the glass. The aroma isn’t complete without the vineyards trademark hint of savory mountain scrub best described as soft chamomile or dried sage. On the palate, the first sip is electric. The natural acidity is extremely bright and showcased by the varieties trademark citrus fruits, which are then joined by more floral and tropical flavors that battle to be the most pronounced the longer you explore. The initial flavors then give way to minerality, an elegant texture and an overall softness that is achieved through lees stirring and is the secret in balancing the high acidity. This balancing act is what makes this wine so mouthwatering and almost irresistible for that next sip." —winemaker

"The first swirl in the glass releases fragrances of white peaches, lime zest, delicate white pineapple and ripe stone fruit. Upon entry, the creamy texture is buoyed by bright acidity. Ruby red grapefruit, white blossoms and citrus flowers linger on the seamless finish." —winemaker
