Desparada 2024 Sauvignon Blanc “Presqu’ile Clone 316” Santa Maria Valley – 96+ Points

FMW 96+ Points: “The 2024 SB “Presqu’ile” Sauvignon Blanc rushes out of the starting blocks with lively aromas of white peaches, tropical fruits, guava, and a hint of honeysuckle. The wine offers up a medium body that is quite intense and showcases a crisp yet vibrant feel on the palate with well-balanced fruit-to-acidity ratios.  This youngster finishes long with a satin-like flair and hints of salinity and citrus. Tiny production!

Winemaker Notes: “Guava fruit by the foot, pomelo pith parabolas, geraniumania, tickly prickle, tangelo turbulence, dropping a pearl to the bottom of the ocean, river rock rap battle, unpop-able bubbles, honey suede swimming pool, sunset bike ride“
