L'Umami Sauvignon Blanc

L’Umami turns Oregon’s cool Eola-Amity breezes and volcanic basalt into a Sauvignon Blanc of striking freshness. Estate rows sit 300 feet up the Coast Range foothills, where warm afternoons ripen citrus and tropical notes while cold Pacific nights lock in racy acidity. Hand-picked fruit sees a slow, native-yeast ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel; three months on fine lees add satin weight and the namesake savory hint. The 2024 bottling flashes key-lime zest, green mango, and crushed gooseberry over a spine of river-stone minerality, finishing bone-dry with a faint, sea-spray salinity. Crisp enough for oysters, layered enough for creamy chèvre tarts, this is Northwest Sauvignon dialed to refreshment mode yet quietly complex beneath the zip.
