The 2024 vintage follows a season of early growth and warmth, marked by plentiful winter rains and quick spring temperatures that set the stage for a dynamic growing season. Three heat waves in July, although early, didn’t hinder the plants, which were well-hydrated and adapted seamlessly. With a compressed harvest window, we began picking on August 15 at our Twomey estate in Calistoga and completed harvest by September 7 at Merino Vineyard, reminiscent of the warmer 2021 and 2022 seasons.

The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc combines the concentrated depth of a warm vintage with the freshness that only an early harvest can preserve. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of white peach, Gravenstein apple and chamomile. The palate is rich yet delicate, offering a beautifully textured mouthfeel that’s lifted by vibrant acidity. A through line of fresh minerality adds elegance, while the finish is fresh and persistent, making it both lively and refined. Perfect for immediate enjoyment, this wine captures the essence of California in a vintage defined by balance and complexity.
