Tasting notes
Aromatic with citrusy and grassy aromas, very varietally correct. The fresh flavors are layered with Meyer lemon, peach, and apple highlighted by a minerality and crisp taste. Our Sauvignon Blanc is quite refreshing and tangy with bright acidity. Please enjoy upon release or within a year or two as no aging is required.
Vineyard Sources
Dry Creek Valley has a great pedigree for growing and developing great fruit characteristics as well as bright acidity in Sauvignon Blanc. We
sourced three vineyards for this vintage: our estate vineyards as well as two neighboring growers. Each vineyard’s microclimate combines sun, soil and fog to retain ripe fruit and crisp flavor. Add these components to the special care and attention from the vineyard crew and the resulting wine is a wonderful reflection of terroir—wherein the sum is greater than the parts.
Winemaking
Spring rain and perfect growing conditions during summer accelerated the ripening of the grapes and we began harvesting Sauvignon Blanc in August 17. Excellent quality, high intensity of aromas and bright acids are the result and the Sauvignon Blanc varietal aromatics shine in this vintage. After pressing, the juice goes to stainless steel fermenting tanks to cold soak for 24/48 hours.
Inoculated with selected yeast and slow fermentation at about 58F in stainless steel tanks completes the process. We keep the wine temperature controlled during fermentation in order to keep all varietal flavors. The wine is bottled a few months after harvest without oak aging or malo-lactic fermentation. We continue to create this Sauvignon Blanc to capture freshness and showcase the luscious Dry Creek Valley fruit.
