Populis, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino County, CA While winemakers Shaunt Oungoulian & Diego Roig, make wines for Les Lunes by farming older & historic leased vineyards in Napa & Sonoma, their Populis project is made using purchased grapes from historic vineyards & multi-generational growers they adore in Mendocino County, located just north of Sonoma. Their production facility is literally located in the basement of Shaunt’s parents’ house, allowing them space free from other wineries’ yeasts / influence as well as space to age multiple vintages if they deem it necessary before release. This single-varietal old-vines Sauvignon Blanc is without a doubt the most chilled out Sauvy B you’ve ever tasted, vinified from grapes planted in the late 1940s and some of the very oldest SB vines in California! Omg wow they are so old & wise! They have moved on from their early-twenties need to be all loud & elderflower passionfruit green pepper showboaty in your face. The green pepper has softened into a fluttering grassiness, and fruit flavs are lightly tropical: guava, key lime & lemon balm. Satiny mouthfeel, Central Loire-esque, the smell of Dove soap on a loved one’s skin. Make a wish on a dandelion & pair with acoustic guitar strum on a late spring afternoon.
