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 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Hopkins Ranch is flat-out delicious. Bright and brisk, with plenty of varietal character, the 2023 shows the green, grassy side of Sauvignon Blanc, but also has enough textural pliancy to keep the wine from being austere. Delicious."
