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.

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.

Distinctive and complex yet light on its feet and refreshing, with a sleek frame. Offers a whiff of litsea oil alongside accents of crunchy sea salt, lime sherbet, pear and dried pineapple. Aromatic, crisp, floral aromatics linger on the finish of jasmine and lemon blossoms. Drink now. 2,000 cases made.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Hints of crushed stone and struck match mark the nose of Sentium's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, which contains a dash of Sémillon (1%). Fermented and aged in a mix of used French oak, concrete and stainless steel, it's a dry, stony wine, medium-bodied and streamlined on the palate, given just enough flesh through hints of fig and stone fruit and enlivened by lingering notes of white grapefruit and lemon on the finish.
Vinous Media: 91 Points
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is bright, crisp and refreshing. This airy Mendocino County Sauvignon Blanc is light on its feet. Lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine peel and ripe pear are all beautifully lifted.
