This has been one of my favorite Sauvignon Blancs since their first vintage of 2014. It is full-bodied yet with purity and precision. And that makes sense because winemaker Francoise Peschon was known for her Whites when she was making the Araujo’s Sauvignon Blancs when they owned Eisele Vineyard and Accendo is the new winery that the Araujo family launched in 2013. “The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is 14% Sémillon and 4% Musque clone, with the rest made up of Sauvignon Blanc. The nose offers up expressive green guava, fresh pineapple and green apple scents with hints of honeysuckle, white peaches and chalk dust plus a waft of coriander seed. Medium-bodied with a lovely satiny texture, the palate delivers mouth-filling tropical and stone fruit flavors with great freshness and a compelling chalkiness to the finish.”
