2023 Continuum Sentium Sauvignon Blanc

Hints of crushed stone and struck match mark the nose of Sentium's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, which contains a dash of Sémillon (1%). Fermented and aged in a mix of used French oak, concrete and stainless steel, it's a dry, stony wine, medium-bodied and streamlined on the palate, given just enough flesh through hints of fig and stone fruit and enlivened by lingering notes of white grapefruit and lemon on the finish.

I loved the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, a vibrant white offering ample Meyer lemon, honeyed flowers, and crushed stone-driven aromatics, as well as a crisp, clean sense of reduction. Medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, and elegant, it might be my favorite of the lineup. I love it today, yet it should have at least a decade of longevity, if not more.
