Lot 463
2023 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

$60/bottle under the original label

An apex white wine from a blue-chip estate that’s one of the most recognizable names in all of wine country that started as a small passion project to accompany their reds-only lineup. Routinely garnering 93-96 points from top critics under its original label, Lot 463 is a stunning Bordeaux-style white, made with all the bells and whistles from some of the finest vineyard sites in California.

A scintillating invitation of gooseberry and green melon leaps out of the glass, gracefully interwoven with apple and citrus blossoms. Immaculate on the entry, it awakens the palate with supple texture and minerality framed by medium+ acidity, followed by nuances of slate and fresh limes. The finish is pristine, fresh, and further accentuates the palate profile with its lingering intensity. Gorgeous now, but the ceiling of its elegance will only rise in the years to come.
