Grammy-Award Winning Musician Zac Brown And Napa Valley Winemaker John Killebrew Introduce Sauvignon Blanc To Z. Alexander Brown Collection

Launched by Delicato Family Vineyards in January 2016, Z. Alexander Brown became the #1 new wine brand of the year.¹  

Based on industry data, the new Sauvignon Blanc, with a suggested retail price of $19.99, is positioned for success. Sauvignon Blanc is growing at +5.6%, the second fastest growing varietal behind Rosé, and the $15-20 price segment is the fastest growing among Sauvignon Blanc, growing +16.2%.²

"All of the Uncaged wines are complex, juicy and dynamic. We wanted to craft a food-friendly, versatile Sauvignon Blanc—in a bold style with excellent acidity and balance. This wine is true to the variety, with fruit from prime North Coast vineyard sources," noted Z. Alexander Brown winemaker John Killebrew. "Sourced from Napa Valley, warmer Lake County Vineyards in the North Coast and cool southern Suisun Valley vineyards just south of Napa County, this Sauvignon Blanc expresses flavors indicative of the region in which the grapes were grown:  Juicy tropical passion fruit, mango and guava flavors are balanced by lemongrass notes, rounded out with refreshing and zesty lime and lemon citrus flavors."

"Both wine and music are intangible – you can't stop either one in time and examine it carefully as they both change over time. Each has a lot of tone, feeling and texture. It's all a craft. No matter what the medium is, it all takes a lot of love, time and attention to detail to come out with a final product you know everyone will enjoy," added Zac Brown, proprietor of Z. Alexander Brown. "Like songs, each new wine release is unique, and we are really excited about our new Sauvignon Blanc."

Zac's dedication to craftsmanship is expressed not only in his music and wines, but in Southern Ground, the lifestyle brand Zac created to express his passions of originality, quality and philanthropy, including the Z. Alexander Brown portfolio.  As part of Zac's commitment to giving back to the community, Zac's Southern Ground family of brands help to support his non-profit passion project: Camp Southern Ground.
