The careful selection of grapes from vineyards in
Monterey, Napa and Lake Counties comes to fruition in our 2008
California Sauvignon Blanc, a complex, structured blend which balances
fruit and acidity.
The cool, coastal vineyards of Monterey allow the grapes to mature
slowly and develop intense citrus flavors with crisp minerality.
Combined with richer, more complex grapes from the sun-drenched Napa
Valley, the blend evolves into a more structured, balanced wine. Grapes
from Lake County enhance the wine's acidity and heighten its tropical
flavors. Together, these locales produce a wine with aromas of guava,
watermelon, Meyer lemon and a long, juicy finish.
Aging this well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc in stainless steel preserves
the intense fruit aromas and flavors without the cloaking presence of
malolactic fermentation. The screw cap enclosure and the UV safe green
glass package ensure that our wine maintains freshness throughout its
life. Put simply, this is one of our favorite wines to drink regardless
of season or spread; it is bright and crisp year round. -- Winemaker's Notes
