Lush and expressive, the 2024 Cymbal opens with vibrant aromas of passion fruit, guava, and honeysuckle. The palate is ripe and richly textured, offering layers of tropical fruit, Meyer lemon, and a hint of lemongrass. Bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and focused, extending the exotic fruit notes through a smooth, lingering finish.

92 Points

Critic's Choice - 100% varietal, the aromas are effusive, with notes of lemon zest, fig, fresh herb, banana, and green papaya. A full-bodied, exquisitely flavorful palate follows, brightened by lively acidity. A long finish with toasty accents caps it off. It's flat our delicious and near irresistible, demanding another glass.

The 2024 Cymbal Sauvignon Blanc bursts from the glass with an intense blend of musky lemon peels, grapefruit and sweet sage. Silken textures flood the palate with ripe orchard fruits and citrus tones, all guided by juicy acidity. It leaves the senses refreshed while tapering off with admirable length and concentration.
