Wine Details
Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Barrel fermented and opulently textured this is our flagship wine. Extended time in the barrel has produced one of the most aromatic offerings we have bottled. Fresh flavors of nectarine and apricot plus a hint of lemon grass in the finish. This is definitely not one of those thin, watery S.B.'s.
This latest wine in our series of award winning releases is from our oldest vineyard - planted in 1982. A refreshing first glass in the evening and a wonderful complement to seafood.

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.
