2018 | Stonestreet Estate Vineyards | Aurora Point Sauvignon Blanc

The Aurora Point Sauvignon Blanc radiates exotic fruit and power, representing the capability of high elevation Sauvignon Blanc. The 2018 Aurora Point jumps from the glass with aromas of underripe white peach, grapefruit, and lemongrass. A rich and luxurious mouthfeel combine with lively acidity and joined by flavors of basil, minerality and apricot pit.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Aurora Point Vineyard is intensely scented of lime leaves, lemongrass, wild sage and pineapple with hints of peach blossoms and wet pebbles. Medium-bodied, zesty and elegantly played, it has a wonderfully minerally character coming through on the long finish.

• Vinous: The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Aurora Point is gorgeous. Creamy, ample and wonderfully open-knit, the 2018 is super-expressive. Dried pear, sage, mint, anise and wild flowers all meld together in a beautifully textured Sauvignon Blanc. Lees stirring brings out striking layers of nuance and dimension.

Producer Information

Stonestreet Estate Vineyards is a California wine producer in Sonoma County's sub-appellation Alexander Valley. It is best known for its range of single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines. Stonestreet was founded by Jess Jackson in 1989, after the purchased of the Zellerbach winery. Jackson was the founder of the major distributor Jackson Family Wines and was half of the namesake for the brand Kendall-Jackson. The estate vineyards comprise roughly 400 hectares (1000 acres) on a undulating property within the foothills of the Mayacamas mountains. Vineyards are planted across the property and range in elevation from 400 to 2400 feet (120-730m) above sea level. The significant difference in elevations, vine-spacing, and various aspects and exposures of the plots mean the estate has an array of mesoclimates. Individual plots demand different farming practices dictated by the specifics of the vineyard site. Stonestreet has multiple ranges within the wineportfolio. The Single Vineyard collection is sourced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay whilst the Estate collection includes varietal wines from multiple estate vineyards. The Library Wines is a selection that have aged in the cellar for at least ten years.
