Crystal Basin Cellars

Salvestrin

Le Blanc Crystal Springs Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Decisions decisions… Both very comparable styles. Salvestrin is a St Helena Suav Blanc with fruit derived from the foothills and elaborated by a female winemaker, it’s got great balance and composure. Very elegant on the palate, it has this sublime honeysuckle component somewhere in the mid palate. — 5 days ago

Gabilan Mountains GSM 2017

This is in a really great spot. Rustic and a bit savage, beautiful purity of fruit. Big and firm, very much the opposite of plush/soft California. Pair with pork chop and booger sugar. — a month ago
