Tasting Notes
Our Mason 2018 Sauvignon Blanc greets the nose with
tropical fruit, figs and honey. The palate offers creamy
pear and fig flavors before giving way to a long, lingering,
bright finish with hints of grapefruit. This wine is a stunner
with extraordinary mouthfeel and texture.
Vineyard Notes
A cooling ocean breeze and morning fog during the warm
growing season makes Napa Valley an ideal climate for
our Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes for the Mason Sauvignon Blanc
are exclusively sourced from the Yount Mill Vineyard and
are planted to a split trellis system. Leaves are pulled on the morning
side, and left alone on the afternoon side, which gives a
nice mixture of green and gold colored fruit for different
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 was 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.
