$24.00 per bottle
Description:
The vineyard’s personality is bursting forth again with our 2004 vintage. The fresh, bright aromas of Sauvignon Blanc come wafting from the glass showing the full expression of wine with a sense of place. The resulting blend from this single vineyard source gives us a profile of aromas of pink grapefruit and zesty citrus. Then we get mineral laced aromas of clean washed river stone or flint, a signature of this vineyard. On the palette the wine is bright with fresh flavors of tangerine, pears, melon and passionfruit. The overall texture and body is vibrant and lively; the long, round finish lingers and beckons one to drink more.

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.
