Kenefick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Kenefick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is an exceptionally bright, highly aromatic, and beautifully textured estate-grown white wine that captures the generous fruit profile and striking freshness characteristic of northern Napa Valley. Cultivated along the unique alluvial fans at the base of the Palisades Mountain range in Calistoga, the grapes achieved a pristine balance of ripe intensity and structured energy during a notably dry, early harvest season. In the glass, it radiates a clean, pale straw-gold hue. The expressive nose opens with a vibrant burst of sliced green melon, lemon curd, and fresh honeysuckle, tightly interwoven with background layers of fresh white peach and lemongrass. On the palate, this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc is lively and focused, driving a succulent core of pomelo, kiwi, and crisp green apple across a rounded, pure, and seamlessly balanced mouthfeel. Free of heavy herbaceous qualities, it maintains superb energy driven by a vitalizing line of mouthwatering natural acidity that carries into a remarkably clean, salivating, and intensely fresh finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with lightly drizzled halibut ceviche, grilled asparagus with lemon juice, fresh goat cheese salads, or pan-seared sea scallops.
