2023 J. Lohr F&G Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
The 2023 F&G Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is pale yellow in color. It presents aromas of honeysuckle, grapefruit, with a hint of fig. Bright flavors of ripe key lime, vanilla, Meyer lemon, and tarragon take center stage, with a rich palate texture and long finish. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif with goat cheese or oysters, or with a spring vegetable risotto or lemon-tahini chicken main course.

The grapes for the F&G Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc are grown in the alluvial path of the Arroyo Seco River where vines struggle in the sand-laden, cobblestone soils that define the Arroyo Seco AVA. These rocky soils and the cooling winds off Monterey Bay keep yields in check and produce fruit with intensity, minerality, and exceptional weight. The long, cool growing season of the Arroyo Seco appellation ensures that the fleeting, exotic fruit flavors of Sauvignon Blanc are retained along with a vibrant natural acidity. The F&G Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is crafted to be a New World expression of pure varietal character in a classic, Old-World style. Aged for six months sur lie in stainless steel (45%) and French oak and acacia barrels (55%).
