Orin Swift's 2022 Blank Stare Sauvignon Blanc comes from the cooler Russian River Valley, sourced from the Laguna Ranch and MacMurray vineyards. This wine stands in contrast to its Napa Valley counterpart, Veladora, with its bright fruit notes and refreshing, lively profile. The pale gold hue gleams with a jade shimmer, inviting you in with aromatic notes of key lime, Granny Smith apple, grapefruit, white pepper, and subtle hints of frangipani and minerality.

On the palate, the wine is crisp and fresh, delivering a burst of lemon-lime, complemented by grapefruit and guava. As it unfolds, the tropical essence of mangosteen and lychee emerges, leaving a delicate and elegant finish. This Sauvignon Blanc's youthful acidity gives it balance, making it both vibrant and refined.

The 2022 vintage is a blend of 100% Sauvignon Blanc, with 86% fermented in stainless steel tanks and 14% barrel-fermented in French oak for three months. With an alcohol content of 15.3%, Blank Stare is best enjoyed chilled, making it an ideal companion to light dishes, seafood, or simply as a refreshing, stand-alone sip.
