Sentium Sauvignon Blanc 2023 - 750ml

96pts California Wine Advisors

Dazzling citrus led by grapefruit and creamy lemon on the nose. Very energetic and mouth-watering on the palate with passionfruit and mild tropical notes in the background. Shows a lot of precision and minerality throughout. Will be a dream with fresh oysters. Enjoy now through 2028.

I loved the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, a vibrant white offering ample Meyer lemon, honeyed flowers, and crushed stone-driven aromatics, as well as a crisp, clean sense of reduction. Medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, and elegant, it might be my favorite of the lineup. I love it today, yet it should have at least a decade of longevity, if not more. Drink 2025-2035.

 A solid sauvignon blanc with Meyer lemons, light grapefruit, peach stones and just a touch of flint on the nose and palate. Creamy texture. So caressing. Very Loire-like in a Touraine sort of way. Made from old vines planted in the 1940s and 1960s. 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. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes

On the nose, the 2023 Sentium reveals enticing aromas of pear, honeysuckle, and savory lemon curd. A bright and energetic wine with flavors of lychee, wet river stone, and nectarine mingling with fresh zested Meyer lemon. An extended mouthwatering salinity on the finish harmonizes with a delicate and texturally lifted mouthfeel. A true testament to the care and devotion that went into its creation
