Aged on fine lees for 10 months. Alcohol 13.9% Cases Produced 560 Vintage Notes ## Sunlit Days Sauvignon Blanc is celebrated around the world for its brightness, complexity, and versatility. Rooted in France’s Loire Valley, it earned its reputation for vivid acidity, mineral drive, and aromatic lift. Later, New Zealand showcased a more exuberant style, while Napa Valley demonstrated how texture and ripe fruit can add depth to the grape’s natural precision. In the Columbia Valley, long, sunlit days and cool nights create ideal conditions for Sauvignon Blanc to ripen fully while retaining freshness, yielding wines that balance purity, energy, and layered nuance. The 2023 Jaine Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a Columbia Valley blend sourced from Culloden, Spice Cabinet, and Olsen Vineyards. Working closely with our vineyard managers, the winemaking team restricted yields to concentrate flavor and structure while retaining the internal verve we seek in Jaine wines. Cool fall nights preserved acidity while flavors continued to develop. The fruit was hand harvested in the early mornings of mid-September. At the winery, grapes were hand sorted and whole-cluster pressed. The juice was cold settled for 24 hours, then racked into a combination of stainless steel tanks and select French oak barriques to build texture, nuance, and gentle integration. The wine was racked off its lees and remained in barrel and tank until spring 2024. The wine was blended and bottled, unfined and unfiltered, in August 2024, producing only 560 cases. The final wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, Clone 1. Vibrant, layered, and a precise expression of our region and vintage. Expert Reviews & Scores ### Sean Sullivan, Northwest Wine Report 90 / 100 > This wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel (89%) and barrel and left on lees for 11 months. Light aromas of herb, lemon, licorice, passion fruit, and flower lead to a mouthful of full-bodied, broad-feeling tropical fruit and citrus flavors. There’s pleasing textural richness throughout."
