Massican Sauvignon Blanc 2025
(Napa Valley & Sonoma County, California) - [JS 93

From the Winery:
Inspired by the Sauvignon wines of northern Italy, our Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to the tart and delicious everyday wine workhorse of the region of Friuli. While it is difficult to recreate these specific Italian wines anywhere else in the world, Sauvignon is our California interpretation of these great Italian white wines. The grapes for this wine are farmed at distinct vineyards in Napa and Sonoma where the temperatures are both the warmest during the day and the coolest at night. That diversity helps us produce a wine of intensity and freshness, and as such we tip-our-Sauvignon-hat to our fellow winemakers in northeast Italy.

Aromas: Lime zest, green tea, and cut grass

Flavors: Yuzu, ginger, and lemongrass

93 Points - James Suckling:

A strongly aromatic, crisp and citrus-driven wine. Light-bodied and quite tangy in acidity, showing grapefruit, kiwis and lime zest with mineral, chalky notes in the finish. Lean, fresh and linear.

94 Points - Vinous Media (2024 Vintage): 
"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best wines I have tasted from Massican. Soaring varietal notes make a strong first impression. Deep and heady, the 2024 is a wine of dimension, complexity and class. Tangerine oil, sage, mint, tomato leaf and dried flowers stain the palate. This is so impressive." - Antonio Galloni

93 Points - Wine Spectator (2024 Vintage): 
"Mouthwatering and intense, there’s plenty to admire in this mix of lemon sherbet, tangerine, dried mango and candied ginger. Details of lemon verbena, lime zest, kumquat and toasted green tea linger on the long, expressive finish."
