Dragonette Sauvignon Blanc Happy Canyon Vogelzang Vineyard 2023

96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lemon curd, pineapple, honeyed flowers, and spicy nuances all give the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Vogelzang Vineyard a Graves-like feel, and it's based on 100% Sauvignon Blanc from a great site located in the Happy Canyon region of Santa Barbara County. Medium to full-bodied, it has a pure, graceful mouthfeel, beautifully integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's my favorite of the trio of Sauvignon Blancs here, and I'd happily put this in a blind lineup with the best Bordeaux Blanc out there. Drink bottles over the coming decade or so. Drink 2025-2035.

95 points Billy Norris (Vinous): "The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Vogelzang Vineyard is an explosively aromatic, texturally seamless Sauvignon Blanc of compelling character and distinctiveness. In fact, it is one of the best domestic Sauvignon Blancs I've ever tasted. Almond, orange oil, peach skin and green herbaceous flourishes make for an intriguing, engaging experience. Round in body, with excellent grip and phenolic ripeness, this is a seriously, seriously impressive effort. Drink 2025-2032 (Aug 2025)"

94 points James Suckling: "Compact and ripe with compressed pineapple, passion fruit and citrus oils. Sun-warmed slate and extended acidity. The juxtaposition of fruit and crunchiness is terrifically calibrated. Drink or hold. (Aug 2025)"

93 points Matthew Luczy (Wine Advocate): "The most layered and multidimensional of the vineyard-designate Sauvignon Blancs, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Vogelzang Vineyard matured in a mix of barrique and cigar barrels for 17 months. It offers the most complex profile, seamlessly melding grassy, tropical, citrus and mineral tones that carry throughout the wine. The palate melds oily power with a focused, linear core that runs through the finish, which lingers with waxy nuances and a stony undercurrent. Drink 2025-2035 (Nov 2025)"
