Tasting Notes
Made from 100% organically certified Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 vintage offers aromas of nectarine, green apple, candied lemon, ginger, and pineapple. The palate is round and lush with lemon curd, pear, ripe citrus, grapefruit, and refreshing acidity, finishing long, smooth, and vibrant.
Overall Review
ZD's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is a richer, Napa-style expression that balances ripe fruit with freshness and finesse. Unlike the grassy, leaner Loire style, it emphasizes stone fruit, citrus depth, and texture while maintaining crisp acidity. Critics praised its bright fruit, spice, and lingering finish.
