Our Sauvignon Blanc was fermented 60% in a concrete ‘egg’ tank, 30% in French oak and 10% in stainless steel and was sur lie aged for eight months. The resulting wine has a vibrant appearance with a pale yellow color. Lemon grass, honeysuckle, nectarine, orange zest and white peach jump from the glass and are followed by rich, creamy flavors of summer melon, stone fruit and lemon pastry on the palate.
"The 2018 Chardonnay is positively brilliant. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give the 2018 a whole range of very pretty top notes. In 2018, the O'Shaughnessy Chardonnay offers a striking interplay of energy and texture that is just mesmerizing. Two thousand eighteen is one of the best vintages of this Chardonnay I can remember tasting."
"O'Shaughnessy's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Bright aromatics, plush fruit and silky tannins give the 2017 much of its immediate appeal. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint, spice, blood orange, and rose petal all meld together in this very pretty and engaging Cabernet; there is certainly plenty to like here. As always, the Napa Valley Cabernet is a blend of fruit from O'Shaughnessy's Oakville, Howell Mountain and Mt. Veeder ranches."
"Deep garnet-purple colored, it has provocative notes of baked blackberries, stewed plums and crème de cassis with earthy/savory hints of fertile loam, chargrill, wood smoke and new leather plus a touch of sautéed herbs. Full-bodied with fantastic concentration and bags of savory layers, it has a rock-solid line of grainy tannins and a compelling herbal lift on the finish."
