The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is flush with fresh aromas of pear, peach, honeydew melon and lime zest. A fragrant palate displays lush flavors of star fruit, pineapple, lemongrass and herb with hints of wet slate. Rounded textures gain vibrancy on a quenching, minerally finish. A complex and mouthfilling Sauvignon Blanc with a unique point of view.
The grapes were sourced from Jack McGinley (51%), Tommy Town (29%) and Vogelzang (20%) vineyards in the Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA in the eastern Santa Ynez Valley—a region long renowned for producing notable Sauvignon Blanc.
After harvesting, the grapes were destemmed and cold soaked on the skins for eight hours to foster enhanced textures and extract tropical notes. The grapes were then gently pressed and fermented in a combination of new and once-used French oak barriques and concrete tanks. The concrete lots accentuated the inherent minerality of the wine. The oak-fermented lots underwent secondary malolactic fermentation to cultivate creamier tones.
After maturing in their respective fermentation vessels for five months, the lots were blended and raised in stainless steel tanks for an additional five months before bottling.

Stasis
Stasis wines focus on coastal expressions of both renowned and obscure grape varieties. They pay homage to the Stasis Theory, a truth-seeking discipline first practiced by the great philosophers and orators of ancient Greece. Between the physical and metaphysical, there is Stasis — a balanced state of being.
