Cadre Wines, Edna Valley (San Luis Obispo County, California) Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Feb 7, 2024

By Norm Roby

 With most of the fruit harvested from a Paragon Vineyard block planted in 1973, the wine was stainless fermented and aged on the lees.  Once poured, this wine changes dramatically in the glass.  It changes from flinty and green pea aroma and opens us to reveal secondary aromas of melon and white peach along with a wet stone kind of minerality.  It offers plenty of vibrant flavors with mouth-coating texture, and it picks up lovely herbal and green apple nuances before finishing on a long, long crisp aftertaste.  Best not to over chill it.  It could very well improve in the bottle.
