Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our Mason 2020 Sauvignon Blanc greets the nose with
citrus, fig, and peach. The bright, refreshing palate offers
notes of grapefruit and minerality with creamy flavors of
lime and citrus. This wine is a stunner with extraordinary
mouthfeel and texture.
Vineyard Notes
A cooling ocean breeze and morning fog during the warm
growing season make Napa Valley an ideal climate for
our Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes for the Mason Sauvignon
Blanc are certified organic and exclusively sourced from
the Yount Mill Vineyard. Vines are planted to a split trellis
system and leaves are pulled on the morning side and
left alone on the afternoon side. This technique gives a
nice mixture of green and gold-colored fruit for complex
flavor profiles. These grapes were picked between 22.4°
and 23° Brix.
Winemaker Notes
Our perfectly ripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes arrived at our
winery after an early morning harvest. After being crushed
and fermented at a cool 50°F for 30–35 days, 18% of wine
was put down to stainless steel drums. The fermentation
lees from the tank was distributed across these drums and
stirred 3 times a week for 3 months. The wine were then
blended and bottled. The cold fermentation accentuates
the fruit and retains the beautiful aromatic qualities
and crisp acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The lees
contact texturally helps the mouthfeel and the finish.
