Preston Farm & Winery
2025 Preston Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc 750mL
Sauvignon Blanc has been Preston’s calling card since they first planted it in 1974, and this estate-grown release shows that sweet spot between ripe fruit and refreshment. The estate is a certified-organic, diversified farm in Dry Creek Valley, and they keep interventions in the winery to a minimum, letting the farm and grapes speak for themselves. Two dry-farmed estate blocks on ancient creek beds set the tone for clarity and character. A brief soak on the skins lifts aroma and detail, and 15% of the wine fermented in used French and Austrian barrels rounds the texture a touch without weighing it down.
Lemon peel and wild thyme over bright citrus and lemongrass on the nose. The palate shines with just-ripe tropical fruits, with citrus notes adding zip, and an oyster shell snap closes it clean with a quenching finish. Happy wine!

In the cellar they favor straightforward methods and moderate alcohol, aiming for balance and nuance over power. Estate-grown grapes and spontaneous ferments are the through line across the range, with Sauvignon Blanc a long-standing signature.
