2025 HEARTH SAUVIGNON BLANC

REYNOSO VINEYARD  •  ALEXANDER VALLEY AVA

Tasting Notes

Aromas of white peach, honeycrisp apple, and fresh pineapple mingle with dew-kissed minerality. A round, structured mid-palate adds whispers of honey and a faint echo of jalapeño, carrying through to a delightful, lingering finish.
