2024 Gamble Estates Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
The 2024 Gamble Estates Reserve Sauvignon Blanc reflects our pursuit of an age-worthy expression of Sauvignon Blanc. A small addition of Sémillon adds texture and depth while preserving the wine’s freshness and precision. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon, starfruit, and orange blossom lead to vibrant acidity, mineral tension, and a silky texture on the palate, with subtle notes of beeswax and citrus peel. Barrel fermentation and extended lees aging lend texture and complexity, leading to a long, layered finish.
Inspired by the great white wines of Bordeaux and the Loire Valley, Tom Gamble acquired Riverbound Vineyard in 1997 from a childhood neighbor, recognizing the terroir as one well suited to growing exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. Farmed using regenerative organic practices, the vineyard’s unique microclimate and diverse clonal selections contribute to the wine’s complexity and finesse.
The 2024 vintage brought near-ideal conditions for our Sauvignon Blanc vineyards, with a cool, extended growing season allowing for slow, even ripening. The long hang time preserved natural acidity while enhancing aromatic intensity and complexity. With no extreme heat spikes, the fruit retained bracing freshness and vibrancy. Careful harvest timing across vineyard blocks ensured optimal flavor development, resulting in a wine built for both immediate enjoyment and continued evolution in the bottle.
