Cep is a true second label from Peay Vineyards. Cep is made from organically-farmed grapes that are grown outside the Peay's property.
This is not the Bordeaux style of Sauvignon Blanc that Vanessa made when she was winemaker at Peter Michael where there is barrel aging and often Semillon in the blend. On the contrary, the grapes are picked to capture the citrus, green papaya, lemon blossom, chalky side of Sauvignon Blanc. It is tank fermented to retain acidity and freshness and bottled in the December following vintage.
ANTONIO GALLONI 90 POINTS - "The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Hopkins Ranch is bright, aromatic and punchy, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Lemon peel, mint, lime, white pepper and sage are nicely delineated. The 2022 offers good energy, with good depth and fewer of the green/grassy notes that can be dominant in wines made in this style."
