The 2019 Dissonance offers a beautiful, complex bouquet of pear, apple, acacia flower, pink grapefruit, and caramel. Flavors of pear, grapefruit, and lemon delight on the palate with bright acidity upon first sip. The mid-palate is soft and balanced, bursting with flavors of cardamom and apricot leading into a finish of lemon, lime, and pear that lingers on the tongue. Sourced from vineyards in the Carneros region, this cool climate Sauvignon Blanc is richly complemented through aging and stirring of the lees in French oak barrels.

"The 2019 Dissonance is a very pretty, expressive Sauvignon Blanc-based blend. Bright Knights Valley energy kicks up a whole range of varietal flavors nicely. Grapefruit, white flowers, mint and crushed rocks give the 2019 terrific energy."Vinous Media - By Antonio Galloni
"Aromas of ripe apricot, lemon curd and pomelo with a hint of hay. Crushed stones, too. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity and a subtle, mineral finish. A little light at the end."JamesSuckling.com
