Gold Medal 2020 Sunset International Wine Competition

Gold Medal & 92pts 2020 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition

This brilliantly clear, pale-stray-colored Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, bright, and crisp. The wine opens with complex aromas of lime zest, Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, lemongrass, freshly cut hay, honeysuckle, and a hint of wet stone. Fresh and forward, zest flavors of grapefruit and citrus with subtle herbal notes meld beautifully with a vivid acidity. Fresh, full, and vibrant, the finish is long and lingering with lemongrass and mineral. 

SIMI Winery chef suggest pairing this wine with pasta pesto, goat cheese with olives, barbequed shrimp, vegetable stir fry, and roast chicken. 

SIMI has been producing world-class wines for over 140 years and is one of the oldest continuously operating wineries in California history. 

Founded by brothers Giuseppe and Pietro Simi, who immigrated to California from Italy, SIMI has been making wine in Healdsburg, California since 1876. Isabelle Simi, daughter of Giuseppe, took over management of the winery for over 70 years and today, her spirit of determination continues to drive the female led winemaking team. 

the winemaking team at SIMI is led by Lisa Evich, who began her career at SIMI, spending 9 years with the winery before leaving to diversify her experience. She returned home to SIMI in 2015 as Winemaker, where she sought to create wines of balance and harmony. The one word that Lisa would use to describe SIMI wines is "timeless". Her deep connection to the legacy left by Isabelle Simi, as well as her development as a winemaker, creates the perfect intersection for crafting premium wines and allows the history and the future of SIMI and Sonoma County to permeate in each bottle. 

SIMI produces quality wines sourced from the best of Sonoma County and crafts a range of remarkable offerings. SIMI's Sonoma County-designate wines include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc and delivers true-to-fruit expressions of Sonoma with every vintage.
