Standard Deviation Sauvignon Blanc XL Reserve 2019

A dazzling new white wine that boasts an array of deliciously refreshing + exotic fruit flavors! Standard Deviation XL 2019 is another magical combination of zesty citrus (think grapefruit granita plus a dash of lemon zest) plus hints of pear, apricot, and even savory cotton candy on the exhilarating finish. Wow – this is our favorite new Sauvignon Blanc under $100!

The Winery

Standard Deviation Wines is a limited-release collaboration from California Wine Country veterans. These wines are a deviation from the partners' core brands, which allows for exploration and experimentation. What began as an afternoon with two friends barrel tasting at the winery became a collaborative first release of Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. These micro-production wines represent a chance to creatively expand beyond the confines of their established brands without compromise.
