Description:
A limited-production, 100% estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc that expresses the best of the Dry Creek Valley micro-climate Cool afternoons and evenings allow the grapes to develop concentrated flavors and aromas. The clean refreshment of this wine is perfect for enjoying with steamed shellfish, stir-fries, and goat-cheese-accented salads.
Grapefruit, melon, and gooseberry flavors stand out in our Estate Sauvignon Blanc. Partial malolactic fermentation and barrel aging lend structure and body while retaining the bright acidity that makes this an excellent food wine

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.
