2022 Patent Wines - Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley (750ml)
From Miller Ranch, an old vineyard on the flat valley floor just south of Yountville in Napa Valley, Patent Wines' 2022 Sauvignon Blanc arrives in a 750 ml bottle with bright citrus and mineral energy that captures a sun-drenched, site-specific style.
The site is fully exposed to the sun with no hillside shade, and muscat vines interplanted among the rows add a unique aromatic lift to the fruit. A portion of the wine spends time in new French oak, used sparingly enough that the oak presence remains subtle, enhancing texture without dominating the fruit.
Crafted in small quantities using Bordeaux-influenced techniques, this Sauvignon Blanc is made by hand rather than at scale, allowing precise handling of each lot and a clean, expressive profile.
