Description

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage Production: 260 cases

Framed by the San Raphael Mountains to the east and Santa Ynez Mountains to the south, Happy Canyon is blessed with an extraordinary terroir. It’s sits at the end of a 40 miles geological funnel that draws the cooling Pacific coastal fog inland, which combines with the gravelly soils of the Vogelzang Vineyard to create a mini-nirvana for Sauvignon Blanc.

The finest wine from Vogelzang is produced by the team at Dragonette Cellars who, in the words of Jeb Dunnuck, make “Some of the finest expressions of Sauvignon coming out of the Central Coast today.”

It’s made with a nod to the great Sauvignon Blancs of the world, with fermentation in 228L, 300L and 320L French oak barrels (22% new), and 276L Dagueneau-inspired Cigar barrels. 18 months of the lees bring added layers to a finished wine bright with tension and energy.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 94

The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Vogelzang Vineyard takes some coaxing to reveal aromas of lemongrass, lemon-lime candy, sage and tarragon, offering deeper peachy and flinty tones with time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate feels youthfully coiled, focused on flinty citrus at this stage. It has focused acidity and a pleasing textural grip but needs a year or two in bottle to fully unwind. [Erin Brooks, 08/12/2022]

Jeb Dunnuck 94

The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Vogelzang Vineyard comes from more gravelly loam soils and was brought up in French oak barrels (22% new). It’s another beautiful, exotic expression of the variety, with notes of orange blossom, honeyed minerality, acacia flowers, baking spices, and hints of brioche. It too is rich, textured, and wonderfully balanced, with bright acidity and outstanding length. Both single vineyard releases are some of finest expressions of Sauvignon coming out of the Central Coast today. [29/08/2022]

2021 Aperture, Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma County 12x75cl

RP96
Blend: 97% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Semillon Production: 1,808 cases Aperture's Sauvignon Blanc was originally inspired by winemaker Jesse Katz’s experience working at Bordeaux First-Growth, Château... Haut-Brion in Bordeaux. His unique barrel program provides the wine with a distinct complexity and a subtle weight on the palate. The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is the first vintage to include Estate-grown Sémillion and Sauvignon Musqué, planted on the Aperture property in 2019. These two estate blocks were hand-harvested in early September while fruit from Dry Stack Vineyard in the Bennett Valley AVA was brought in in early October, consistent with this vineyard’s unique late-ripening characteristics. 1/3 New French oak, 1/3 once used French Oak, and the remaining neutral French oak was selected for this vintage’s barrel program. Once transferred to barrel, the wine was placed in a cold barrel room to keep fermentation cool and slow to intentionally preserve the bright aromatics and fresh quality. As the wine slowly fermented for an additional 3 weeks in barrel, it was topped and stirred weekly. The wine stayed in those same barrels for 6 months. At that point, Jesse stopped the fermentation in order to maintain the wine’s natural bright acidity.

2014 Soliste, St. Andelain Sauvignon Blanc, Lake County 1x75cl

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Vintage Production: 168 cases St Andelain is Don and Claude's homage to the incomparable late Didier Dagueneau. Born from a single organic vineyard in Lake County, the... grapes were partially destemmed and allowed 36 hours of skin contact to create unique richness and depth. After pressing they barrel fermented and aged for 16 months in Didier’s creation, the Cigar Barrel. There is no malolactic fermentation to preserve acidity, verve and length. St Andelain is a true expression of Soliste wines: Exceptional vineyards, meticulous grape selection, elegant balance of acidity and aromatics, to create wines of great complexity and finesse.

2022 Bevan Cellars, Dry Stack Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma County 1x75cl

WI91
Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Vintage production: n/a The Dry Stack Vineyard rests 170 metres above sea level on the eastern slope of Mt. Taylor in Bennett Valley, towards the more elevated eastern... reaches of Sonoma County. The soils are marine clay and loam with gravel throughout which brings minerality, while the cool climate provides lift and vibrancy. Russell uses a touch of French Oak to add texture and depth, making sure that the wine is all about rich aromas and pure, intense fruit. This is a Summer-showstopper and simply has to be experienced. Russel Bevan: "Gold...pure gold in a glass. This years Dry Stack stands apart from previous vintages in it's sophistication. It highlights the aromatic characteristics and mouth-watering flavors, while staying true to our rich, expressive, bold style of winemaking. Notes of bosc pears, melon and fresh Meyer lemon balance the dazzling acidity. Minimal french oak influence on the wine offers a hint of fresh cedar and shortbread on the finish. This wine screams for grilled figs with goat cheese, drizzled in orange blossom honey."
