Lula Cellars 2023 Sauvignon Blanc: A Crisp Sonoma County Gem
Elevated both in taste and terrain, Lula Cellars’ 2023 Sauvignon Blanc offers a refreshing escape for white wine lovers seeking vibrant flavors and balanced complexity. Crafted from grapes grown at 2,400 feet in Sonoma County’s Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak region, this wine captures the essence of its pristine terroir. With a 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, it delivers a bright, savory profile that pairs perfectly with summer meals or casual sips on the patio.

This wine opens with zesty citrus notes of Meyer lemon and white grapefruit, mingling seamlessly with herbal accents like lemongrass and fresh fennel. Subtle stone fruit flavors—think white nectarine and crisp apple—add depth, while a mineral-driven finish lingers like a cool breeze off the mountainside. The winemaking team prioritized showcasing the vineyard’s unique elevation-driven character, resulting in a wine that balances crisp acidity with earthy undertones of wet rock and green bell pepper.

Ideal for fans of bright, food-friendly whites, this Sauvignon Blanc shines with seared salmon, herb-crusted chicken, or light salads. At 12.5% alcohol, it’s approachable yet layered, offering more nuance than typical everyday whites. Unlike mass-produced options, Lula Cellars’ focus on sustainable vineyard practices ensures each bottle reflects the care taken from grape to glass. Whether you’re pairing it with seafood or savoring it solo, this Sonoma County gem delivers sophistication without pretense—proof that great wine doesn’t have to be complicated to impress.
