Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (750ML)

98 JS / 95 WI

#53 James Suckling Top 100 USA 2024

So much complex pear blossom, peaches, Meyer lemon, pineapple and snap peas. Full bodied with a layered, phenolic texture and a tangy and vivid finish. Some flint at the end. 3.3 pH. Really zesty. Grows in the glass. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.—James Suckling

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was picked before the heat event in September. It skips out of the glass with bright, cheery scents of lemonade, lime blossom, candle wax, and yuzu zest with wafts of chalk dust and coriander seed. The medium to full-bodied palate has a satiny texture and fantastic freshness supporting the intense citrus flavors, finishing on a lingering chalky note. What wonderful energy!—Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

Bottled just a month before this tasting, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is another perfumed, exotic white revealing bright lime and honeyed citrus aromatics, some mint herb nuances, medium body, bright acidity, and a clean, focused finish. It has a more subtly rounded mid-palate compared to the 2021 but still plays in this vibrant, focused style beautifully.-Jeb Dunnuck
