Louis Martini's 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is 88% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from Yountville and further south in Napa Valley, and 12% old-vine Sémillon (planted 1886) from the Monte Rosso Vineyard in Sonoma. One-third was barrel fermented in mostly used oak, while the rest went into concrete eggs and stainless steel. The result is a crisp, medium-bodied wine with scents of grapefruit, fig and melon, a slightly grassy tone on the palate and a long, silky-textured finish.

Martini's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc derives largely from purchased Napa Valley fruit, although it does contain 4% Semillon from the Monte Rosso Vineyard's 130-year-old vines (the oldest Semillon vines in the United States). Fermentation and maturation take place in barrel, stainless steel and concrete eggs. The result is a pleasant effort that combines notes of passion fruit, grapefruit and struck flint on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and round in the mouth, providing a contrast to the citrusy nose, then adds ripe fig and melon components on the finish.

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc springs from the glass with vibrant notes of lemon juice, lime cordial and fresh green apples with hints of fresh hay and wet pebbles. Medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing, it delivers zippy citrus and herbal flavors with a chalky finish. 743 cases were made.

The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is a little youthfully closed to begin, soon unfurling to reveal fresh grapefruit, lemon peel and green apple notions with hints of pineapple, chopped herbs and wet slate. Medium-bodied, the palate is beautifully understated with good varietal expression and a well-poised finish. 560 cases were made.

This is the first white wine from this winery in over a decade, and this is the first vintage of this label. The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in stainless (63%), French oak (25%) and concrete eggs (12%), with aging in a small percentage of new French oak (14%). Containing 14% Sémillon, it opens with elegant notes of fresh lemons, lime leaves, wet slate and chalk dust with hints of honeysuckle and wild thyme. Medium-bodied, delicately played and satiny textured in the mouth, it has great freshness and a long, minerally finish. 650 cases produced.
