Taft Street Winery’s Sauvignon Blanc from the Russian River Valley captures the essence of Sonoma’s cool, coastal influence. Crafted in small lots from hand-selected vineyards, this wine reflects the balance, vibrancy, and precision that define the region’s most expressive white wines.

Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve natural acidity and aromatic intensity. Fermented slowly in stainless steel to maintain freshness, this Sauvignon Blanc shows the pure varietal character of the grape and the distinct minerality of the Russian River terroir. The result is a wine that’s crisp, aromatic, and endlessly refreshing.
