Wine: Stagiaire 2021 Sufficiently Whelming

Producer: Stagiaire

Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay

Region: Santa Cruz Mountains, California

Weight: 750 ml

ABV: 12.7 %

Notes: The wine opens tight and flinty but relaxes into opulent citrus and tropical fruit. Think of a Capri Sun commercial where everyone is like liquid cool and doing sports and stuff. unwinding a bit more and more each time I try it and I think will reward some patience if you have the opportunity to stash some bottles away for a few years." -Brent Mayeaux (the winemaker)
