INFO
Origin: Alluvial soils connect our vineyard sites—beautiful places where
Sauvignon Blanc thrives and develops distinct flavor profiles. We blend
fruit from select parcels across these regions to capture the full spectrum of
varietal character—something rarely found in a single vineyard. Our
sources span Coastal California, from Mendocinoʼs valleys to Sonomaʼs
rolling hills and riversides, to the fog-kissed Santa Clara Valley. Clonal
selection is key to expressing both varietal purity and a sense of place:
Clone 1 delivers classic citrus notes, Loire Valley–origin Clone 530 adds
texture and gooseberry aromatics, and a touch of floral Musqué (Clone
27) layers in stone fruit and white rose perfume.
Winemaking: The cool climates of our growing regions help preserve the
aromatic and flavor precursors we seek. Thoughtful yeast selection then
unlocks and protects these delicate compounds. We favor farming
practices that maintain a natural leaf canopy over the fruit, allowing
dappled light to slow ripening and retain the terpenes and glycosides
found in the grape skins and flesh. Through fermentation, these translate
into a pure grape-to-glass expression. Overnight harvesting, gentle early
pressing, oxidation control, expressive yeast strains, and long, cool
stainless steel fermentations all work to maximize varietal character. One
blend component aged sur lie for added texture, while others were
racked early for freshness. Together, they form a balanced wine that
showcases Sauvignon Blancʼs full aromatic and flavor spectrum.

ABOUT CANNONBALL
Cannonball Wines: Make Waves. Leave an Impression.
Cannonball Wines was founded in 2006 with a simple mission: make great California wine that delivers joy, bold flavor, and unforgettable character—without pretension. Inspired by the uninhibited thrill of a cannonball splash, founder Yoav Gilat and a team of passionate wine industry veterans set out to create the best California Cabernet under $20. The result? A wine that broke away from the expected and invited everyone to dive in.
At Cannonball, we believe wine should be fun, approachable, and anything but ordinary. Whether you’re bringing a bottle to the table, making a bold entrance, or just looking to shake things up, our wines are crafted to stand out in a sea of sameness. We don’t just make a splash—we leave waves behind.
As Cannonball Cabernet quickly became a fan favorite, we expanded the lineup to include Chardonnay, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc—each wine sharing the same commitment to quality, character, and unshakable spirit. Our flagship Cabernet will always be our first love, but our mission has grown into something even bigger: creating inclusive wines for bold spirits around the world.
So go ahead. Make an entrance. Pop the cork. And remember—anyone can make a splash. Only the bold leave waves behind.
DIVE IN & MAKE WAVES.
TASTING NOTES
-
Aromas: Pale straw in color, this wine is as refreshing to the eye as it is to
the palate, with a bouquet of fruit and flowers that evokes spring in a
glass.
Taste and Flavors: Zesty and vibrant, it bursts with sweet citrus—Yuzu,
bergamot, and lemon caviar—layered with hints of floral peach. Bright
fruit is balanced by notes of green papaya, tangy lemongrass, and a
streak of slate-like minerality that adds tension and structure.
