Summers get hot in Calistoga. This is fortunate, because it was on such a feverish Calistoga day that Kimberly and Trent Jackson found inspiration for their "Y3" Sauvignon Blanc. Their aim was simple – make it extremely clean and refreshing but infused with a stony minerality. Fermented in 100% stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation, this wine stays true to its varietal integrity – crisp, vibrant and made "sur lie" to give brilliant texture and depth. 
 
Vibrant and pointed with a complex concentration of white peach, nectarine, and yellow apple. On the palate, one will note a ripe, fresh citrus, medium-bodied mouthfeel with a touch of minerality. This crisp and bright style is supported by luscious floral nuances resulting in a harmonious and elegant finish.
