"Brilliant hues of pale yellow and green present this white wine. Fresh aromas of grapefruit, kiwi, and fennel are intertwined with a vanillin thread, evidence of the element of subtle new French oak. Yellow grapefruit and lime zest flavors follow with the essence of ripe pear, while the toasted oak qualities of the barrel maturation have encouraged a round, rich mouth feel, along with the subtle creaminess of the sur-lie maturation. This is a crisp yet rich flavorful Sauvignon Blanc." —winemaker

"Cakebread 2023 Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of pink grapefruit, lemon curd, fresh pear, melon, and passionfruit. Flavors of citrus, kiwi, and lemon zest give way to more subtle hints of mango, guava, and pineapple. Crisp and refreshing, this light-bodied wine beautifully balances concentrated fruit flavors and lively acidity with a gently textured mineral finish." —winemaker

"The 2023 vintage offers a very pure expression of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, a captivating balance of weight and intensity with bright, fresh acidity. Aromas of lemongrass, orange blossom, pink grapefruit, and Key lime pie are mirrored on the focused, layered palate. A dynamic interplay of ripe fruit, rich sur lie texture, and brisk acidity amplifies and extends through the mid-palate, introducing hints of white pepper and crushed rock. The finish is long and mouthwatering, the bracing high notes slowly melting into an echo of candied grapefruit peel." —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
