"Vibrant and expressive, with notes of tangerine, peach and dried pineapple. Sleek and refreshingly acidic, this shows details of dried flowers and citrus zest, with the aromatics lingering effortlessly on the long, fresh finish."
Winemaker Notes:
"This delicious Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc reflects the vision of the second generation. Crafted from several distinct vineyard sites, this new blend incorporates Sauvignon Musqué and Sauvignon Gris clones for added complexity. The Sauvignon Musqué provides a vibrant and juicy weight to the palate. Just as some of the finest chateaux in Bordeaux use Sauvignon Gris, we also love the texture this varietal provides to the final blend.
In expressing the Dry Creek Valley’s unique terroir, this beautiful wine displays bright, fruit-forward aromas and a full-bodied mouthfeel. At first swirl, this Sauvignon Blanc presents tropical aromas of passionfruit, pineapple and melon with nuances of peach and jasmine. On the palate, flavors of guava, Meyer lemon and cucumber come through with a slightly creamy, but lively finish. Stainless steel fermentation was supplemented with small amounts of acacia, French oak and chestnut barrels, adding additional character and nuance to this delicious wine."
