Veteran winemaker Steve Rogstad oversees winemaking at both Cuvaison in Carneros, and its sibling brand, Brandlin, which is based on Mt. Veeder. Rogstad makes some interesting, seriously-layered Sauvignon's for both brands using a variety of fermenters, stirring lees, and other craftsman-like tools of the trade. I love this 2021 release for it's complex gooseberry, quince, white grapefruit, cream, and lime curd flavors that delivery both great focus and plushness simultaneously. What a golden age this is for California Sauvignon Blanc. (93 Points)
