Four days of skin contact give the Sauvignon Blanc a more aromatic nose and full texture on the palate. Medium high acid with notes of melon and jasmine.
Notes on the Producer
Who We Are If you asked me as a kid what I would like to be when I grew up, winemaker would not have been on my list, most likely because I was a child and didn’t drink alcohol. I was born in Los Angeles, raised in Orange County and went to school in Santa Barbara for English and music. Wine was a happy accident. My goal is to make wines that are exciting to drink and fun to share. I work with vineyards that see the importance in farming naturally and I make wines naturally. Where does the name come from? Eislynn is my middle name, chosen by my mother based on the main character in the raunchy romance novel she was reading while pregnant with me. Despite the names’ elegant appearance, the origin is pure smut. -Emily Eislynn Myers
Grapes & Style
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is one of the world’s most recognizable white grapes, with deep roots in the Loire and Bordeaux. In the Loire, it’s the grape of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, and Touraine; in Bordeaux, it often works with Sémillon to make both dry whites and great sweet wines. It has also become a major international variety, especially in New Zealand, California, Chile, South Africa, and Austria.
In the vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc is aromatic and expressive, often marked by high acidity and a strong sensitivity to climate. Cooler sites bring out citrus, green herbs, grass, and mineral tones; warmer sites push toward tropical fruit and broader texture. It’s usually at its best when freshness is protected and the aromatics stay precise.
In the glass, Sauvignon Blanc tends to be vivid, high-toned, and refreshing. Depending on place and style, it can taste of lime, grapefruit, passion fruit, gooseberry, cut grass, herbs, smoke, or wet stone. Good Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t need to be loud — the best versions balance brightness with texture and leave a clean, savory snap.
