Winemaking Preservation of the fragrant aromatics and fresh mouthfeel of
Sauvignon Blanc is paramount in our winemaking. We seek sites that contribute
bright fruit flavors and lively palate structure to the blend, favoring development of
a spectrum of tropical fruit from lychee to passionfruit. Aging at cool temperatures
strengthens the mid-palate and adds dimension and rounds out the vibrant acidity.
Aromas Waves of grapefruit, lime, and orange blossom dominate on the nose
with a back note of passionfruit and a hint of lemongrass.
Taste and flavors Alongside the citrus spectrum, tropical notes emerge on the
palate showing guava, lychee, and passionfruit. The mid-palate structure is medium
in weight and reveals an attractive slate/mineral quality that lingers on the finish and
compliments the lively acidity.
Sourcing The interplay of soil, sun, and coastal breezes makes the North Coast a
choice locale for growing Sauvignon Blanc grapes. We source from varied terroirs
to layer flavors, build structure and preserve natural acidity. Mendocino fruit gives
us both citrus spectrum and sub-tropical notes, Lake County contributes more
intense robust tropical aromas and flavors, and Sonoma brings balance and length
as well as a core of minerality.

About Cannonball Wine Company

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.

As our first born, Cannonball Cabernet remains our flagship wine.

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

Today, Healdsburg, California based Cannonball is present in 47 United States and 30 international markets.

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