Think Sancerre, But Better!
The Santa Cruz Mountains are known for their cool climate. Add 2,500 feet of elevation, and the beauty of the Sauvignon Blanc grape is amplified.
One of the finest expressions from this region is the 2023 Arnot Roberts Ascona Vineyard. The vineyard is perched on a ridgetop high on the mountains and captures the elegance of Sancerre with California’s untamed edge.
Just 15 miles from the Pacific, the tiny 4.5-acre vineyard basks in sunny days, while cool ocean breezes and nightly fog preserve tension and verve.
"From a site set at 2,500-feet, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Ascona Vineyard tastes of a sunny day near the ocean, combining lithe layers of wet stone and salinity with lemony green apple. Sleek and polished, it is light-bodied and quite beautiful, delivering an exciting level of freshness that persists from start to finish. Enjoy now through 2033." Jeb Dunnuck
Rooted in weathered sandstone and shale, the vines deliver a wine that’s precise, mineral-laced, and alive with citrus and mountain herbs. Only a handful of cases made—don’t miss this chance to taste high-elevation Sauvignon Blanc at its peak.
If you love Sauvignon Blanc - and Sancerre specifically - the 2023 Arnot-Roberts "Ascona Vineyard" Sauvignon Blanc is for you!
The vineyard's cooler climate allows for a balance of fruit, acidity, and structure typically found in France.
Not much is made... even less is available! Quantities are quoted in bottles, not cases!
Enjoy.
