2022 Matthews Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

"The 2022 Matthews Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a pale straw color with radiant green flecks in the glass. Struck flint aromatics combine with star fruit and lemon curd, flowing into floral notes of sweet pea and fresh cut flowers. The fresh creamy mouthfeel delivers a palate of lilac and lemongrass, with white currant and gooseberry. The pleasing acidity showcases passionfruit, scone, and a lingering minerality on the finish." -Alex Stewart, Hal Iverson, & Jesse Schmidt, Winemakers

Praise:

"Set to be released in November 2022, this has several new vineyards as well as the Olsen and Spice Cabinet Vineyards.The wine saw some extended battonage and is also unfined and unfiltered. 100% varietal, and picked later during the growing season, the nose shows incredible richness and depth. Banana, lush melon fruits and starfruit tones mark the nose. The palate is rich and layered with a seamless texture that makes this glide throughout the drinking experience. This is a Chardonnay lovers Sauvignon Blanc that will live on for another eight to ten years. Drink 2023-2031." -95 points, Owen Bargreen, owenbargreen.com
