Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc program took us across an exciting range of appellations encompassing the sunny Dry Creek Valley, wind-swept Monterey, and the lofty elevation of Lake County's Mt. Konocti neighborhood. Our Dry Creek Valley vineyard reliably delivers flavors in the tropical spectrum, rounded out by the citrus notes found in Lake County. Grounding and bringing dimension to the blend are the racy, crisp green notes contributed by sourcing where Monterey's 'thermal rainbow' affords a spectrum of climatic influences, notably wind, that create just the right amount of stress to achieve balance in flavor and fruit chemistry.

Professional Ratings

    Dry Creek Valley, Lake County, and Monterey provided the fruit for this vivacious uno- aked Sauv Blanc. Zippy notes of grapefruit, just-ripened nectarine, honeysuckle, and lemon meringue leave a clean taste on the palate. Herbal notes follow on the finish.
  • 90

    Well balanced and crisp in texture, this medium-bodied wine offers fresh lemon and lime aromas. Equally vivid and tangy flavors drive the refreshing palate.

  • 90

    This is is grassy and bright, with an onion-skin savor overlying bright lemon and grapefruit. For a ricotta and spinach pasta. 

  • 89

    Pear, lime, apple and lemon zest flavors are fresh and light, with a touch of spicy dried flowers lingering on the finish.

The Cannonball. It is the perfect symbol of freedom. Legs tucked beneath you, soaring through the air – that uninhibited spirit is the soul of Cannonball wines. The Cannonball icon is a symbol of your inner child. A time when life was carefree and all about having fun. Dive In and Share a Splash!

Founded in 2006 by a dynamic team of wine industry veterans who were determined to rock the wine world. The vision was to make the best California Cabernet under $20. Armed with a belief that wine should be fun, uninhibited and approachable, they set out to share a splash of Cannonball Cabernet in every glass.

By 2010, Cannonball Cabernet had established a solid reputation in the under $20 category and was receiving lots of love from consumers, restaurants, and retailers. They all wanted more, so the line was extended. The first varietal was Chardonnay, followed by Merlot, and then Sauvignon Blanc.

The beloved flavors of Cannonball are sourced from select regions throughout California. The diverse California micro-climates, topography and soils provide the perfect palette to create wines that are complex and highly consistent.

Dedicated to innovation, with a commitment to authenticity, their mission is to spread their passion by offering wines we believe in. We love what we do, and hope it shows in every bottle!

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

Responsible for the vast majority of American wine production, if California were a country, it would be the world’s fourth largest wine-producing nation. The state’s diverse terrain and microclimates allow for an incredible range of red wine styles, and unlike tradition-bound Europe, experimentation is more than welcome here. California wineries range from tiny, family-owned boutiques to massive corporations, and price and production are equally varied. Plenty of inexpensive bulk wine is made in the Central Valley area, while Napa Valley is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious and expensive “cult” wines.

Each American Viticultural Area (AVA) and sub-AVA of has its own distinct personality, allowing California to produce red wine of every fashion: from bone dry to unctuously sweet, still to sparkling, light and fresh to rich and full-bodied. In the Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate vineyard acreage. Sonoma County is best known for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosé and Zinfandel. The Central Coast has carved out a niche with Rhône Blends based on Grenache and Syrah, while Mendocino has found success with cool climate varieties such as Pinot noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. With all the diversity that California wine has to offer, any wine lover will find something to get excited about here.
