2023 Shared Notes Les Pierres Qui Decident | Merino Vineyard, Russian River Valley Sonoma County California 750ml

The 2022 Les pierres que decident is yet another vintage that offers a stunning expression of this classic varietal that is rarely seen yet has become all too common among the Shared Notes wines. A singular wine in both aroma and flavor, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc begins with showy, lifted notes of key lime, grapefruit, and candied white peach that are supported by a secondary bouquet of crisp, green orchard fruits, fresh ginger and crushed seashells. On the palate, citrus leads the way with lime juice and lemon peel giving way to more plush notes of nectarine and creamy lemon curd, born from 10 months of sur lie aging in all new French oak puncheons. Fresh, bracing, and lively in every aspect, this wine's vibrant acidity slowly evolves with time to show hints of volume and roundness, giving a remarkably complex and balanced experience. 98 cases produced.
