Editor’s Choice. Lemon pith and herb aromas are followed by generous, intense flavors with a lot of texture and a mouthwatering finish. It’s everything you could want from this variety.

Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc
“Cool and bright, with notes of gooseberry and citrus.”
- Aryn Morell, Winemaker
Vintage Notes
The 2019 Jaine Sauvignon Blanc was crafted from one small vineyard parcel in the Columbia Valley, located just outside of the tri-cities on the east side of the Columbia River. The vineyard is fully sustainable and uses organic farming methods, whenever possible. The vineyards were hand-harvested early in the morning of August 22nd. Upon arriving in the winery, the vineyard lot was hand-sorted, whole-cluster pressed, and fermented using a combination of native yeast in small stainless steel tanks. To maintain freshness and verve, this Sauvignon Blanc was exclusively kept in tanks as opposed to cellaring in oak. Over the course of 8 months, this wine was individually evaluated over 40 times by our winemaking team, and finally bottled on August 3rd. Only 455 cases were made.
