WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
In expressing the Dry Creek Valley’s unique terroir, this Sauvignon Blanc presents tropical aromas of passionfruit, guava, pineapple, ginger and white pepper. On the palate, flavors of Meyer lemon, lime, nectarine and cucumber come through with floral tones and a slightly creamy yet 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.
Blend: 79% Sauvignon Blanc, 14% Sauvignon Musqué, 7% Sauvignon Gris
TASTING NOTES:
All freshness and lift, this vibrant, herbaceous and yet elegant wine tops honeydew melons and Meyer lemons with flatleaf parsley on a dry, nicely tangy texture that whets the appetite. It gets some of its extra verve from Sauvignon Musqué and Sauvignon Gris grapes that make up 21% of the wine. Editors' Choice
