Wine Details
Price:
$11.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2005 Joel Gott California appellation Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of fruit sourced from vineyards in Monterey, Lake County and Napa Valley. The 2005 growing season was cool giving the grapes a slow maturation allowing us to harvest at the optimal maturity. We ferment in 100% stainless steel to enhance the purity of the fruit and classic varietal notes. This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of passion fruit, melon, citrus, and hints of jasmine. The palate offers juicy sweet fruit that leads to a crisp, citrus clean and long finish. With the screw cap enclosure and UV safe green glass our package ensures that our wine maintains freshness throughout its life.

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.
