BLEND | 100% Sauvignon Blanc
VINEYARDS |Grapes are hand-harvested from select vineyards - the core of the wine is Russian River Valley fruit (92%) with a small selection from Dry Creek Valley.
WINEMAKING |Wild yeast primary fermentation occurred in stainless steel tank (80%) and the balance in neutral French oak for texture. No malolactic or lees inclusion to preserve freshness. Elevage for six months in tank.
TASTING NOTES |Valravn Sauvignon Blanc is a classic representation of the varietal, showcasing a focused, fresh, and complex profile with a luscious fruit core supported by a taut backbone. The wine features evolving notes of grapefruit, gooseberry, and lemongrass, complemented by tropical hints of guava and passionfruit. It is broad and rich while still maintaining a zippy and lively character.

"This Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc is wonderful with notes of aloe, citrus, and green pepper on the nose with a dash of honey. The palate is full and round with a nice grip. The ABV is slightly elevated at 14 percent, but it’s well integrated, making for a delicious, fuller-bodied Savvy B."

"This is big, fruit-driven and energetic Sauvignon Blanc. Aromas of grapefruit, white flowers and candied lemon peel jump from the glass on the nose. Ripe, juicy mixed-citrus flavors along with grass and a hint of jalapeño drive the palate before a fruity and acidic finish. Great value here."
PRESS | 91 JS
"A ripe and expressive sauvignon blanc with an almost tropical feel. Mangoes and pineapple on the nose. The palate is round and textured, with yummy flavors of mangoes, coconut and crisp, limey acidity."
