Aperture Sauvignon Blanc 2024 - 750ml

94pts Wine Advocate

“Blended with 10% Sémillon, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc was barrel-fermented and matured for six months in 30% new French oak. It bursts from the glass with intense aromas of kiwi, green guava, peach, elderflower and spice. The medium-bodied palate combines concentrated, perfumed flavors with well-integrated new oak spice. It has a pleasantly waxy texture, bright, juicy acidity and a long, nuanced finish. 3,325 cases were made. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.”

93pts Wine Enthusiast

Enchanting spice, pithy Meyer lemon, and loads of white flowers drive the nose of this intense and satisfying Sauvignon Blanc. The palate delivers loads of concentration and lightning rod acidity, with flavors of lime peel, ginger, melon and citrus blossoms that bounce and rebound through the finish. Rest this for a few years in the cellar.
