2021 History Smith-Cernie Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

This Sauvignon Blanc contains elegantly restrained aromatics of pear, honeydew melon, and white floral with an undercurrent of minerality. The palate is broad and textural as a result of the extended lees contact. Notes of pear and white peach are tethered to a succulent and satisfying finish.

VINTAGE OVERVIEW 

The 2021 growing season was warmer than average, with a dry heat throughout the summer. In the Columbia Valley, this resulted in the fruit ripening earlier in the season, giving us grapes full of vibrant and focused flavors.
