2024 History Smith-Cernie Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER

Bright and expressive, our Smith-Cernie Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc showcases vibrant mix of orchard fruit and savory herbs. Aromas of crisp pear and lemon verbena lead into a refreshing palate layered with key lime and a hint of thyme. A lively acidity carries through the finish, making this a beautifully balanced wine perfect for spring sipping or pairing with seasonal fare.

VINTAGE OVERVIEW

The 2024 vintage from eastern Oregon delivered a stellar growing season, producing wines of remarkable depth and balance. A warm summer paved the way for a long, cool fall, allowing grapes to hang just long enough to develop beautifully ripe, concentrated aromatics while preserving vibrant natural acidity. This balance lifts the moderate tannin structure, creating a classic, age-worthy profile that expresses th best of the region.
