Accendo Cellars Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Rare new white from the former owners of Napa's Araujo Winery. One of Napa's best new Sauvignon Blancs. 2018 marks the fifth vintage for Bart and Daphne Araujo's new winery, Accendo Cellars. Heading the winemaking team is longtime winemakers Francoise Peschon and their viticulturist, Steve Matthiasson. The entire Araujo team is back fashioning an even smaller, more deliberate production of wine. The Accendo Sauvignon Blanc offers elegance and sophistication in the glass and drinks like a Graves. On the palate, "a mineral vein reminiscent of wet stone provides structure for the fruit and floral components. Full bodied and round, the wine exhibits great range and definition, with its firm backbone, lively acidity and persistent finish.

Ripe pineapple, candied fruit and hint of peppers on the nose. Body falls short. So many aromas but acid is just too muted and no drive to it. Incredibly interesting and could come together with age but right now feels disjointed. Still pretty enjoyable tho

Give it plenty of air. Love the downplayed fruit with big chalk.
