Tasting notes
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is bright, crisp and refreshing. This airy Mendocino County Sauvignon Blanc is light on its feet. Lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine peel and ripe pear are all beautifully lifted.

Hints of crushed stone and struck match mark the nose of Sentium's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, which contains a dash of Sémillon (1%). Fermented and aged in a mix of used French oak, concrete and stainless steel, it's a dry, stony wine, medium-bodied and streamlined on the palate, given just enough flesh through hints of fig and stone fruit and enlivened by lingering notes of white grapefruit and lemon on the finish.
I loved the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, a vibrant white offering ample Meyer lemon, honeyed flowers, and crushed stone-driven aromatics, as well as a crisp, clean sense of reduction. Medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, and elegant, it might be my favorite of the lineup. I love it today, yet it should have at least a decade of longevity, if not more.
