More about the 2024 B.C.V. SONOMA COUNTY PROPRIETARY WHITE BLEND: The 2024 B.C.V. Blanc shows exactly why great wines don’t need to follow a formula. By centering the blend on Vermentino, B.C.V. has created something distinctive for Sonoma County: a wine defined by energy, mineral drive, and remarkable clarity. It feels both contemporary and timeless, offering far more character than its price suggests. Each variety plays a clear role. Vermentino brings the freshness, mineral drive, and vibrant structure at the core. Chardonnay adds texture and depth through the mid-palate, while Viognier contributes a subtle aromatic lift that rounds out the blend without ever taking over. The result is seamless, with each component enhancing the others while staying true to its purpose. What makes the 2024 especially appealing is how well it’s executed. Native yeast fermentation and thoughtful blending preserve the wine’s purity and vitality, resulting in a wine that is polished yet lively. It’s distinctive enough to stand out, yet versatile enough to reach for again and again. At $30, the value is simply exceptional.
