Description:
Valdez Family Winery is the culmination of Ulises Valdez' journey from vineyard field worker to proprietor of wines among Sonoma County's finest. Great wines are indeed made in the vineyard, and this Sauvignon Blanc from two vineyards personally selected and nurtured by Ulises, is a reflection of the hard work, passion, and unequaled standards of Ulises as winegrower.

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.
