Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
White flowers, minerals, lime and white grapefruit abound in this crisp, clean, clear Sauvignon Blanc. Created from fruit hand-harvested from Mudd Vineyard (planted in 1975), whole-cluster pressed and fermented in a stainless steel tank (91%) and one lone Slovenian oak Hogshead (9%). This is a dry, light bodied white wine with very attractive flavors of lime, grapefruit, minerals and a light spice. The wine has no discernable oak influence and the aromatics and flavors are long and focused. Production is way down this year due to winter kill on the old vines, but we were blessed with a great vintage and have fashioned a more complex and broader Sauvignon. As always, the wine was bottled by gravity on the very cold day January 28, 2005. Drink this wonderful wine over the next 18 months with goat’s mild cheesed, seviches, shellfish, white-fleshed fish, and most vegetable dishes.
