About This Wine


Linguist Estates

Sauvignon Blanc

Multi-medal winning Linguist Estates is no stranger to what happens when a harmonious connection forms between vineyard, climate, and winemaker. Each wine continues to harness the subtleties of every unique vintage and varietal to create beautiful expressions earning multiple 90+ scores, as well as Platinum and Gold Medals. With our Clarksburg Sauvignon Blanc, we are sure to add another victor to this group of award winners. This wine is light and lively, with notes of fleshy citrus complemented by an intriguing mineral texture. These fresh and fruity characteristics result from the region's cool climate. Although Clarksburg falls decidedly inland from the Pacific Ocean, it receives cooling maritime influences from the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta. These afternoon breezes alleviate warm temperatures in the vineyard, meaning our Sauvignon Blanc grapes can maintain their characteristic acidity while flavors reach a delectable ripeness. Sip a glass and pick up your favorite book, or pair it with creamy cheeses and stimulating conversation at your next gathering. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Linguist Estates 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Clarksburg, California

Wine Region


Clarksburg

Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.
