Arrow & BranchSauvignon Blanc 2021

The positive is that this is a great offering from Arrow & Branch but unfortunately, yields were over 30% down and we have only been allocated a few cases of this newest vintage of winemaker Jennifer Williams’ efforts. Coming from Atlas Peak’s Stagecoach Vineyard once again, this 2021 is fresh and clean, filled with notes of sweet orange and the ripe flesh of nectarine. It is perfumed with a touch of ginger and has notes of salinity and minerality. “Although it doesn’t have any residual sugar, the palate naturally has the feeling of round, fullness and the flavors have a pleasant sweetness.  Its vibrancy makes for a mouthwatering finish, and an easy-to-drink wine.” 

Led by winemaker Jen Williams and viticulturist Mike Wolf, Arrow & Branch sources their fruit from unique and exquisite vineyard sites, such as Vine Hill Ranch, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Lewelling, Stagecoach in addition to their estate vineyard. These vineyards are all noted for having exceptional Napa Valley terroir. Mike Wolf has planted and farmed what have become preeminant vineyards in Napa Valley. His magic touch combined with Jennifer's winemaking expertise makes for a stellar combination. Before Jennifer was heading the team at Arrow & Branch, she learned the farming side of wine production with one of the best, David Abreu and soon became winemaker at Spottswoode. Her wine style is all about the vineyard and speaks with precision, complexity, and elegance in the glass.
