Like other Bordeaux varietals, Sauvignon Blanc grows well in Napa Valley. Rocky, alluvial soils and warm days balanced by cool evenings create the perfect setting for the varietal, encouraging complex aroma and flavor development.
From the winemaker – “Our Sauvignon Blanc arrived at the winery with vibrant, rich flavors. To harness that, we pressed the grapes whole cluster, gently extracting the highest quality juice for better flavors and mouthfeel. A majority of the fruit was fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel. To build a lovely viscous texture and balance, we barrel fermented five percent of the wine in neutral barrels and stirred the lees in both tank and barrel.”
Enjoy this wine with light pasta dishes, grilled seafood or roast chicken.
