La Lomita Sauvignon Blanc 2023
90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% French Colombard
Always a blend of white grapes but vastly dominated by Sauvignon Blanc, this wine takes you on a drive through orchards of tropical fruits, citrus blossoms, and an herb garden before leaving you lying on your back on a freshly cut lawn, smelling the fresh spring air in the light of the setting sun. Bright acidity and a light body allow this vintage to lift off the palate. A refreshing summer wine or wine for food pairing any time of the year.
