The Single Vineyard Taylors Pass Sauvignon Blanc has lifted aromatics of fresh garden peas and blackcurrants mingled with herbs such as coriander. On the palate are concentrated flavors of jalapeño and lemongrass, with a punchy finish of lime zest and a hint of gunflint. A key point of interest in this wine is the chalky texture reminiscent of wet river stones.

There's a honeyed richness at first sniff, like peach cake with lemongrass garnish beside passion fruit sorbet, with whispers of green pepper and grass. Expect oodles of fruit in the mouth, fleshed out by a creamy texture and lifted by zingy acidity. This wine is dry with a balance that suggests a few years of aging are possible.
Vinous

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Taylors Pass is rather lacking in both rich aromatics and substance, which isn't surprising considering the season. The wine focuses on bright citrus, lemongrass and greener, herby characters while the zesty, acid-driven palate packs a punch. It's all a bit fleeting considering its usual caliber, but you can't control the weather.
