2020 Somnium Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, USA

Vintage:

It Was A Warm, Dry Winter. We Didn't Begin To See Rain Or Cold Weather Until The End Of March. Summer Brought Very Cool Mornings And Very Warm Days. This Build-Up To Harvest Was Interrupted By Two Wildfires As We Turned To The Fall; The Lnu Complex Fire Started On August 17th And The Glass Fire Started On September 27th. The White Wine Harvest Started In Early August And The Wines Are Showing Excellent Development In Cellars, Reflecting The Fine Vintage Year. While The Red Wine Harvest Will Be Smaller Than Usual, Most Wineries Were Able To Move Forward With Red Wine Vinification.

McGah Family Vineyard:

The Mcgah Family Put Down Roots In The San Francisco Bay Area More Than A Centur Ago. Today, Their 65-Acre Vineyard Estate At The Eastern Edge Of The Esteemed Rutherford Ava Produces Some Of Napa Valley’s Most Sought-After Fruit. Warm Days And Cool Nights Produce Intense Fruit Flavors With Fresh Acidity At Full Ripeness. The Gravel And Loam Of These Benchland Soils Provide Vines With Optimal Drainage And Nutrients, Enabling Them To Perform At Their Peak. Somnium’s Sauvignon Blanc Grapes Come From The Oldest Portion Of This Family-Run Vineyard.

Tasting:

Bold, Bright And Fragrant With Round And Satisfying Textures. Aromas Of Tropical White Flowers, Pineapple And Guava Sing With Juicy Stone Fruit And Butterscotch, Balanced By A Mineral Baseline And Vibrant Acidity. Full And Smooth With A Lingerin Finish, This Elegant Wine Will Delight Now And Years Into The Future.
