Sentium - Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is slightly richer, with riper citrus, white peach, and tart pineapple notes in a medium-bodied, pure, layered, elegant style. As with all the releases here, it’s impeccably made and brings a terrific mix of richness and freshness.

Aromas and flavors of sliced apples, green pineapple and hints of flint. Medium-bodied with a lovely depth and brightness. Acid driven with just a touch of reduction at the end. Nine months or less in concrete tanks, used large barrels and 80-gallon stainless steel drums. Made by the fourth generation of the Mondavi family, including Chiara, Brian, Carissa and Dante. This is the second production of old-vine sauvignon blanc with 7% semillion.

A blend of 93% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Sémillon, Sentium's 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and matured in a variety of small vessels, roughly one-third each stainless steel, concrete and oak (puncheons), spending 10 months on the lees prior to racking and bottling. It comes across as slightly restrained aromatically, with just a hint of honey to go along with bright grapefruit and lime notes. It's medium-bodied and seems less plump than the 2021, more direct and linear, with a long, tangy finish.
