2019 ALMA de CATTLEYA “SONOMA COUNTY” SAUVIGNON BLANC

Winemaker Bibiana Gonzalez Rave packs more talent, passion and energy into a bottle of her Alma de Cattleya Sauvignon Blanc than most would deem possible.  People are noticing too… Her 2018 was featured as one of the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Values for $25 or less, and her 2019 is even better…

This brilliant example of Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc was expertly created by Columbia born, French trained winemaker Bibiana Gonzalez Rave, whom many of you may recognize as the former winemaker for Pahlmeyer… She’s previously made wines at Lynmar and has extensive experience making wine in France as well.

Arising from five methodically selected, hillside vineyards centered primarily in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast, this beautiful interpretation of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc leaps from the glass with a spectacular display of fresh lemons, lime peel, citrus blossoms and pink grapefruit. The 2019 graces your palate with palpable energy and absolute focus, and at $23, it should not be missed.
