Summer Dreams Walking on Venice Beach Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma Coast 2022

Summer is Calling, and Jayson Woodbridge answered! The latest addition to Jayson's impressive portfolio of wines is here.

Jayson's genius has been proven repeatedly through the success of Hundred Acre and Fortunate Son. Those who know him would agree—Jayson's barometer for excellence knows no bounds. Every wine he makes pushes the boundaries even further than the one before, and when we think he's met his limit, he surprises us again with something so wildly outside the box. Case in point: Summer Dreams~ Jayson's Chardonnay & Pinot Noir brand is his love letter to our California home and the bucolic Western Sonoma Coast.

Paired with Jayson in this new endeavor is an ACME favorite local winemaker, Ashley Holland. In addition to crafting her brand, Read & Holland, Ashley runs a wine consulting business where she works alongside smaller brands to bring their wines from vine to bottle. It is no small feat to earn the trust of Jayson Woodbridge, and Ashley has done just that. Where Jayson and Ashley match ideally is their meticulous nature and resolve to settle for nothing less than the best. Summer Dreams is all about site-specific vineyards demonstrating Sonoma Coast's WOW factor. To ensure their vineyard partners fit the mold, Jayson & Ashley visited over one hundred sites before selecting the final vineyards in search of three particular qualities: site slope, Goldridge soils, and older vine age.  If that doesn't show a commitment to perfection, we don't know what does.

20% inclusion of the Musque clone provides lifted aromatics, and a mix of new oak, stainless, and acacia barrels set the stage for a palate that is textured and layered with notes of candied ginger, white florals, sage, apple, and a hint of lemon grass. The wine has a polished, elegant roundness from the aging it sees on its lees.
