2023 CMS Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting notes
Aroma/flavor: d’anjou pear / lemongrass / shortbread / mango / clove / jasmine / cut grass / key lime
Texture: light / tart / lively / fruity / vibrant
100% SS fermentation to dryness at cool temperatures to retain the maximum fruit aromas and flavors. Fruit was sourced from several Columbia Valley vineyards including the Yakima Valley and Columbia Valley AVA’s. No malolactic fermentation.
Harvest notes: 2023 started with a drier, mild spring, which resulted in slightly delayed bud break. Then the heat started in May and June and the grapes had a lot of growth. Everything was back on track for veraison, which happened in the last week of July, first week of August. We saw a nicely spread out maturation and harvest period in September and October, which balanced yields. 2023 should prove to be a classic Washington State vintage, especially for Red Mountain.
