Wine Details
Price:
$23.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2004 growing season was relatively mild and finished with a classic Napa warming trend. Yields were very low, resulting in earlier ripening and rendering concentrated delicious Sauvignon Blanc characters. This wine grabs your attention with forward aromas of lime, exotic citrus blossoms, minerals and guava. Mouthwatering flavors of lime, meyer lemon, guava, and….. due to the nature of our special clone of Sauvignon Blanc……the wine finishes with the richness of white peach.

Varietal Definition
Sauvignon Blanc:
Sauvignon Blanc is widely grown in California — at over 15,000 acres, it’s now the third most planted variety — and often assumes the moniker ‘Fume Blanc’. This popular synonym, credited to Napa’s Robert Mondavi, derives from the grape’s historic home of Pouilly in France’s Upper Loire Valley, where Sauvignon Blanc is the dominant varietal and goes locally by the name of ‘Blanc Fumé’. When treated with respect and afforded suitable growing conditions, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world’s darlings. Steely, racy acidity, green, gooseberry fruit, asparagus and a grassy, herbaceous character characterize dry wines made from this grape.
