The Vice Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The Vice Sauvignon Blanc opens with a crisp, refreshing character that makes it perfect for warm afternoons or lively gatherings. With an ABV of 13.5%, this wine is crafted in the United States, where careful production methods highlight its vibrant personality and clean finish. Its light body and zesty profile make it a go-to choice for those seeking something both invigorating and approachable.

On the palate, The Vice Sauvignon Blanc delivers bright citrus notes of grapefruit and lime, complemented by hints of green apple and subtle grassy undertones. These flavors create a lively interplay that pairs beautifully with oysters, enhancing their briny freshness, or with tangy goat cheese, where the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness for a balanced bite. This Sauvignon Blanc’s expressive fruit and mineral edge make it an excellent companion to fresh seafood or creamy cheeses alike.

Producer Information: The Vice Wine

The Vice Wine is based in Napa Valley, California, a region celebrated for its premium vineyards and diverse microclimates. Founded by Malek Amrani and his wife Toral, The Vice began as a passion project focused on making high-quality wines accessible to a broader audience. Their production approach emphasizes small-batch winemaking, sustainable vineyard practices, and minimal intervention to allow the unique characteristics of each vineyard site to shine through in the final product.

Beyond their flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, The Vice Wine offers an extensive portfolio that includes varietals such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. They also produce limited-edition blends and single-vineyard expressions that highlight specific terroirs within Napa Valley. While primarily focused on wine, The Vice has expanded into collaborations with local craft breweries for specialty releases but does not currently produce spirits or whiskeys under their own label. Their commitment to quality extends across all offerings with careful sourcing of grapes from both estate-owned and partner vineyards throughout Northern California.
