Tasting notes
Sourced from two vineyards in Oakville and another in Pope Valley, Accendo's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc boasts gently floral scents on the nose, plus notes of orangey citrus, nectarines and a hint of fig. Mainly barrel-fermented in used oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, plump and generous on the palate, its silky texture enriched by regular bâtonnage. Finishing crisp and clean, it's a delicious apéritif, but it can also accompany a variety of seafood or vegetarian dishes.

Made by Françoise Pechon and bright and racy, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc reveals crushed citrus, stony minerality, and mint notes. All barrel-fermented (20% new), it's clean, bright, and impressive, showing a fresher style. A blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 19% Semillon, and 6% Sauvignon Musque, it hit 13.8% alcohol, and there are 1,209 cases produced.
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc offers a striking mix of vibrancy and mid-palate creaminess. White flowers, mint, crushed rocks and lemon peel all grace this airy, delineated Sauvignon Blanc. This classy, polished white will drink well for a number of years.
