2020 Jaine Members Reserve Bacchus Sauvignon Blanc
The 2020 Jaine Members Reserve Bacchus Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and aged in a single concrete egg. The color shows maize to light straw. Aromas of caraway seed, lemon oil and oyster shell lead into flavors of orange marzipan, lime margarita and river rock. The mouthfeel is angular with a binding core of acidity. Crushed rock minerality continues on the finish, with lingering flavors of tart, bittersweet cider apple.
Tasting notes
The 2020 Jaine ‘Members Reserve’ Boushey Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and aged in a single concrete egg for 11 months. The color is pale straw to light goldenrod. On the nose, there is a phosphoric minerality mingled with meadow flowers and lemon bar. On the palate, fresh cut hay, jasmine green tea and lemon hot toddy with a broad, silky and soft mouthfeel, at times showing some brisk acidity. The finish is reductive, showing flint and herbal notes.
