Schug Description

Winemaker Notes

This well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from cool-climate vineyards in the southern end of the Sonoma Coast AVA. The Grossi vineyard north of Petaluma contributes spice and bright, tangy acidity. The Leveroni vineyard south of Sonoma adds the unique floral character of the Sauvignon “musqué” clone. The resulting blend has a bouquet of lemon and grapefruit zest, leading to lush fruit flavors of white peach, passion fruit, and honeydew melon. It finishes with a refreshing minerality and vibrant acidity that makes it an ideal accompaniment to a wide range of soups, salads, and shellfish dishes.

A fruity white with aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, green apple and melon. It’s medium-to full-bodied with tangy acidity and a medium finish. Drink now.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Schug Sauvignon Blanc offers prototypical attractive characteristics of this grape variety. TASTING NOTES: This wine flourishes with aromas and flavors of dried fig, earth, and tart citrus. Enjoy it with a bowl of steamed clams. (Tasted: September 11, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Tasting Panel

Tart lemon and white grapefruit zing out of the glass, enlightened by tarragon and pea tendrils. Just-ripened pineapple and melon lend more crispness to this fresh, balanced white. Aged 85% in barrel and 15% in stainless steel.
