Wine reviews

March 2022

Bright citrus, white grapefruit, and chalky minerality emerge from the 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard, a medium-bodied, clean, pure, racy Sauvignon Blanc from one of the oldest Sauvignon vineyards in the Valley. Brought up all in new French oak, you wouldn’t know it by tasting it. This is terrific juice. - JD

October 2021

The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard (made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc) offers up lively lemon zest, green apples and fresh peaches notes with hints of honeysuckle and coriander seed. Medium-bodied, crisp and intense, it bursts in the mouth with vibrant citrus layers and great tension, finishing with compelling purity. 186 cases were made. – LPB
