WINE ALERT! VERY LAST CALL 4 THE 2 VERY BEST SAUVIGNON BLANCS EVER “2022 SHARED NOTES “

 

 

Shared Notes is a winemaking joint-venture between wife and husband, Bibiana Gonzalez Rave (Cattleya, and former Pahlmeyer & Wayfarer winemaker) and Jeff Pisoni (Pisoni, Lucia, Luli, etc. winemaker). Both had early desires of making wine, and spent most of their lives doing so. The year 2012, however, marked the first vintage that they produced together. Previously, during the grape harvest, Bibiana and Jeff were like the proverbial ships passing in the night. Early grape picks and late nights at the winery left them rarely crossing paths. Now, Bibiana and Jeff cross paths—to discuss ideas and taste samples. You can sometimes catch them in front of a grapevine, the press, a fermenting tank, or a barrel… most likely with a glass in hand.

Shared Notes 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Les Leçons des Maîtres, Russian River Valley 
GGWC 84.99 
6 bottle limit per person

This white blend was inspired by the cellar masters of Bordeaux and their dedication to Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Classically Bordeaux to its core, the 2022 Shared Notes Les Leçons des Maîtres harmonizes the finest aspects of both the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon varietals.
 
Crushed white peach, Bosc pear, and honeysuckle fill the glass as this youthful, shimmering light green wine starts to breathe with each swirl. Flavors of stone fruits, ripe melon, and lemon zest combine with mineral-driven notes of crushed rock and sea air to form a precise, yet complex profile. Vibrant, mouthwatering acidity dances on the palate, while generous volume and texture from aging peacefully on its lees provide an unmistakable richness. 
 
Bibiana/Jeff Notes: “At the beginning, a pale straw hue tinged with youthful hints of green shimmers in the glass. The second movement envelops the olfactory, with pure aromas of peach blossom, lime zest, and fresh honeysuckle that are backed by subtle notes of candied ginger and spiced vanilla bean. As wine meets palate, the Sauvignon component is prominent with flavors of crisp green apple, citrus peel, and wet stone, while the Semillon adds a plush, rounded aspect in the form of nectarine, fresh melon, and lemon oil. The final movement is perhaps the most memorable, as these two varietals dance across the palate. The incredible freshness and vibrancy are tempered by the soft, supple texture of the Semillon and all is brought into balance during eight months of peaceful sur lie aging in 100% new French oak barrels. A delight in its youth, this wine will continue to merit a standing ovation for many years to come. ”

Shared Notes 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Les Pierres qui Décident, Russian River Valley
GGWC 84.99 –
6 bottle limit per person

A Sauvignon Blanc inspired by the pure and focused wines of the Loire Valley, where the rocks “decide” the style.
 
Nicely sculpted wine. Bright and fruit, yet still steely and racy which is the hallmark style of this wine. A great body that is finely sculpted. On the nose, you are greeted by green apple and pear notes with hints of white flowers. The palate is full and loaded with granny smith, crushed rocks, nectarine, and sappy green herbs that offer a lush and layered texture. The wine has bright acidity and a great finish.
 
Jeff/Bibiana Notes: The 2022 Les Pierres que Décident is yet another vintage that offers a stunning expression of this classic varietal that is rarely seen yet has become all too common among the Shared Notes wines. A singular wine in both aroma and flavor, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc begins with showy, lifted notes of key lime, grapefruit, and candied white peach that is supported by a secondary bouquet of crisp, green orchard fruits, fresh ginger, and crushed seashells. On the palate, citrus leads the way with lime juice and lemon peel giving way to more plush notes of nectarine and creamy lemon curd, born from 10 months of sur lie aging in all-new French oak puncheons. Fresh, bracing, and lively in every aspect, this wine’s vibrant acidity slowly evolves with time to show hints of volume and roundness, giving a remarkably complex and balanced experience. ”
