We source Sauvignon Blanc grapes from throughout Napa Valley, with over a third of the total coming from our estate vineyards in Rutherford, Calistoga, Carneros and southeastern Napa. The wonderful fruit from these sites enables us to produce a full-bodied, crisp and complex Sauvignon Blanc boasting distinctive varietal character and a delectably zestiness. In 2012, a superb white wine vintage in Napa Valley, we blended 87% Sauvignon Blanc with 9% Semillon (to enrich the wine’s mid-palate and soften its acidity) and 4% Sauvignon Musqué, an aromatic clone of Sauvignon Blanc that adds a bright, floral note to the bouquet.
From the Wine Maker – “Because of the stability of our grape sources and constancy of our winemaking regimen, our sauvignon blanc displays a consistent style from year to year. The 2013 vintage boasts characteristically fresh, pure and complex white grapefruit, guava, green apple, honeydew melon and mineral aromas. It’s concentrated; guava, gooseberry and melon flavors persist into a long, lively finish boasting bright citrus, light spice and mouth-watering mineral tones. Enjoy this beauty over the next 3-5 years with your favorite salad, seafood, poultry and veggie dishes.”
A perfect oyster wine, this Sauvignon Blanc is also delicious with many vegetarian dishes. Cheeses such as chevre and other fresh cheeses, Brie and other semi-soft cheeses, Swiss, Gouda and other mild, firm cheeses.
