Desparada 2022 Sauvignon Blanc NYX McGinley Happy Canyon Santa Barbara 95 Points

Vinous 95 Points: “The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc NYX McGinley Vineyard is beautiful and perfumed with a delicate blend of sweet melon, orange zest, and spring flowers.  It’s deeply textural with a lovely inner sweetness and ripe orchard fruits elevated by saline-tinged acidity.  This finishes with a lingering green citrus tension as young kiwi hints slowly fade.  There is simply so much to like about this seductive Sauvignon Blanc.

Winemaker Notes: “Smoking a flower, orange bikini, pear slip n’ slide, citrus sea salt flakes, kiwi seeds, slow motion roller coaster, sour patch kid duels watermelon troll.”
