Chiara Mondavi’s vision for Sentium was rooted in working with family farmers who farm organically and tend to older vines. Following her father’s advice to look north, she discovered vineyards in Redwood Valley, inland Mendocino County, roughly 30 miles from the Pacific. The vines, planted in the 1940s, 1960s, and 1970s, thrive in soils carefully stewarded by dedicated growers. The 2021 bottling is a limited release of under 500 cases. It pays homage to the age-worthy Sauvignon Blancs her family has produced for decades, including the legendary I-Block bottlings from Robert Mondavi. The label features the native California Iris douglasiana growing in the Sentium vineyards. This wine displays gorgeous tension, framing satiny fruit with a vibrant thread of saline minerality. There’s a natural vibrancy, with pure, intense fruit showing beautifully on the nose—lemon oil, tangerine zest, white flowers, and a subtle hint of baking spice. Focused, energetic, with a quiet elegance and purity that keeps you returning for more.
