✨ Technical Specifications
JM Cellars crafts its Sauvignon Blanc to showcase the vibrant, expressive fruit character typical of Washington State's cooler vineyard sites, such as the acclaimed Stillwater Creek Vineyard. Winemaker John Bigelow utilizes a thoughtful combination of stainless steel fermentation to preserve the grape's natural, bright acidity, alongside aging in neutral French oak or concrete vessels to introduce a subtle, textured complexity to the mid-palate. This approach yields a balanced white wine that marries lively citrus and tropical fruit notes with a refined, mineral-driven finish, reflecting the unique terroir of the Columbia Valley.
