2021 Illumination Sauvignon Blanc – Award-Winning White Wine

Discover Illumination Wine’s 2021 vintage—a sophisticated North Coast California white crafted from a precise blend of 61% Sauvignon Blanc Musque from Napa Valley’s rich soils and 39% Sonoma County grapes (24% Sauvignon Blanc + 15% Semillon). This award-winning wine combines elegance with bold complexity: James Suckling praised its “energetic zest” alongside dried apple-pineapple flavors layered over mineral-rich crushed stone notes (96 points), while Wine Spectator highlighted its “seamless freshness” of ginger-lemongrass aromas mingling with mango-citrus depth (91 points).

The winemaker’s artistry shines through in its vibrant profile: floral peach blossom accents dance with tropical guava on the nose before giving way to a creamy yet mineral-driven palate—think ripe stone fruit balanced by zesty lemon zest. At 14% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious balance between richness and crisp acidity—a perfect match for seafood feasts or moments when you crave a sophisticated sip that evolves on the palate.

Whether enjoyed now or cellared thoughtfully (as noted by critics), this full-bodied white offers both immediate appeal and aging potential thanks to its structured texture and bright citrus finish. A standout choice for lovers of premium California blends seeking bold fruit-forward flavors paired with nuanced minerality—a true celebration of Northern California’s diverse terroir in every glass.*
