These grapes were picked at 23 Brix, where they were subsequently pressed directly into a tank. They were settled for a day before being racked into neutral French Oak Barrels. They fermented entirely in barrel before being racked off secondary lees and refilled into French Oak barrels, where they aged for 11 months, completing both primary and secondary fermentation in barrel. Wine was gently filtered using coarse filtration and bottled on 8/27/2025.

With heaps of acidity, this Fumé Blanc transforms your traditional California Sauvignon Blanc from tropical cat piss (Quinn's words, not ours) to elegant and luscious lemon curd. With notes of peaches and passion fruit, this wine is developed and far from your typical Sauv Blanc, hence Quinn's decision to call it a Fumé Blanc, in keeping with Robert Mondavi's tradition of barrel fermenting Sauv Blanc to achieve the grapes maximal potential.
