Calstar Cellars Sauvignon Blanc - 2024 (750ml)

The 2024 Calstar Cellars Sauvignon Blanc offers a bright, zesty profile with notes of lime peel, green apple, and gooseberry layered over a flinty, mineral core. Crisp acidity and a clean, citrus-driven finish make it an ideal match for seafood, goat cheese, or herb-roasted poultry.

Winemaker’s Notes The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc shines in the glass with a pale, golden-straw hue, oering a preview of its brightness and depth. It is beautifully expressive on the nose, bursting with citrus zest, passion fruit, and white peach, alongside delicate floral notes of orange blossom. A touch of crushed wet stone and fresh-cut grass provides an elegant minerality, reflecting the growing season’s cool nights and balanced conditions. This wine is a seamless blend of energy and richness on the palate. Juicy Meyer lemon, ripe guava, and green pear create a layered, fruitdriven profile, while vibrant acidity brings focus and freshness. A subtle herbal note of lemongrass and a hint of saline minerality add complexity, leading to a crisp, lingering finish marked by grapefruit zest and a touch of honeysuckle. This vintage captures the very best of Russian River Sauvignon Blanc— intensely aromatic, beautifully textured, and perfectly balanced between fruit, acidity, and minerality. Enjoy it now for its lively freshness, or cellar for the next few years as it continues to evolve in complexity. Pair with fresh oysters, goat cheese, grilled vegetables, or a light citrus-infused seafood dish for an unforgeable experience.
