94pts Decanter

93pts Wine Enthusiast

Succulent and fresh simultaneously, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc lifts from the glass with aromas of honeysuckle and citrus blossom, carrying into flavors of citrus pith, and spices. Mineral freshness completes the wine.

93pts James Suckling

Aromas of sliced lemons, yellow apples, passion fruit coulis, sea spray and white pepper. The palate is light-bodied with underlying generosity and bright acidity, giving notes of Asian pears, fresh quince and minerals. Great balance and purity. 

93pts Jeb Dunnuck

All varietal aged in 32% new oak, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Lillie is medium gold-hued with classy, Bordeaux Blanc-like notes of honeyed lemon, melon, and crushed stone minerality. It's nicely balanced, medium-bodied, has bright acidity, and a great, almost salty finish. It's beautifully done and will shine on the dinner table any time over the coming 10-12 years.

Winery Notes

The Larkmead Lillie Estate Sauvignon Blanc is crafted in tiny quantities and displays truly distinct character of the varietal when grown in our warmer Calistoga location.
