CADE Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc (2022)

This 2022 Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of green apple, green melon, guava, floral, honeydew melon, lemon, pineapple, ripe pear, and yuzu. In the palate are flavors of lemon curd, key lime pie, grapefruit, lemon zest, and citrus. The wine is bright, fresh, and has a great vibrant acidity on the finish. The addition of the Oso Vineyard has brought out a lot of lemon, apple, and pear flavors which they feel is a great addition to this wine. The 2022 vintage was the largest production of CADE Sauvignon Blanc that they have ever made due to the acquisition of the Oso vineyard. The addition of Sémillon adds some kiwi notes along with a bit of minerality to the wine. The touch of Viognier used adds some textural viscosity to the palate as well as some floral notes in the nose.
