Winemaker Notes
Fresh and crisp with lemon curd and crème brûlée. Malolactic fermentation creates an enchanting richness on the palate. Each lot is fermented and aged separately, allowing for meticulous blending that brings out the unique beauty of the terroir.
Critical Acclaim
WS 91 Wine Spectator
This shows good cut to the crushed stone and lemon curd flavors, crisp and balanced, with buttery and creamy accents. Notes of dried sage emerge on the finish. Drink now through 2024.

COMMENTARY: The Cuvée Sauvage moniker—formerly under the Franciscan umbrella—appears to be taking another step forward with the 2017 vintage in its journey. This vintage is impressive in its richness, purity, and balance. TASTING NOTES: This wine is beautifully bright. Its aromas and flavors of creamy notes and ripe, stone fruits built to an excellent crescendo into a long and delicious finish. Pair it with grilled organic chicken, slices of ripe nectarines, fresh greens, and a touch of balsamic vinegar. (Tasted: July 25, 2019, San Francisco, CA)
