2024 L'Umami Sauvignon Blanc

L’Umami Sauvignon Blanc bridges New World verve and Old World restraint. Crafted in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, it captures crisp citrus energy while retaining savory depth. Bright acidity keeps it vivid. Aromas dance with blossom, grapefruit, and basil leaf. Yet there’s a subtle saline backbone that whispers complexity. It’s expressive but never heavy—an ideal pick for those seeking intrigue in a white.

Nose: Glimmers of lime zest, green apple, white blossoms, and herbal nuance (boxwood, fresh basil). A subtle earth-tinge rounds it out.

Palate: Crisp and polished: grapefruit pith and passionfruit sit above wet stone and coastal salinity. The texture is lithe, with a trace of texture lending substance.

Finish: Clean, mineral-tinged, and persistent—fruit lingers (citrus, orchard) alongside herbal whispers and a refreshing saline twist.

Great with oysters, ceviche, goat cheese salad, or grilled zucchini with herbs.
