Cartesian
California
A Sauvignon Blanc filled with wonder, mouthwatering acidity, and a touch of minerality
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cartesian
Sauvignon Blanc
California’s winegrowing regions are famous for a reason—with a climate that offers a near-perfect environment for grape growing, with dry heat and sunshiny days mitigated by breezes and fog that comes off the neighboring Pacific Ocean.

Varietals of all kinds thrive in each of the unique subregions, but those that require little maintenance and love the bright sunshine like Sauvignon Blanc do exceptionally well. Our winemakers chose to make this 2020 Cartesian Sauvignon Blanc in a much more herbaceous and vegetal New Zealand style versus its sweet and citrus fruit-forward counterparts. Still, it is absolutely delightful, even with a unique palate. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more abo ...

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

TASTING NOTES:
Gooseberry
Grass
Wet Stone
Subtle notes of lemon-lime citrus and flavors of tart gooseberry meld with wet stone minerality. A hint of grassiness hits the palate with every sip of this wine and combines with radiant acidity that shines, making the tastebuds water.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cartesian
French philosopher René Descartes advocated for logic and referencing the past to progress the future. Like Descartes, our winemakers at Cartesian are firm believers in learning from their predecessors. We push, experiment, and continually ask questions in the spirit of making our wines better. Versatile and worthy of examination, Cartesian wines allow you to deliberate life’s bigger questions rather than ponder your wine selection.
