Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
This is the premier release of our new Sauvignon Blanc, made from estate grapes grown at the Monarch Mine Vineyard, overlooking the American River Canyon at 2,300 feet, near the town of Foresthill in Placer County. We planted a four acre vineyard at this site to two different selections of Sauvignon Blanc: clone #1 and the Musque clone. We cold ferment this wine in a stainless steel tank and then age it for nine months in neutral French oak barrels on lees before bottling it in late June of 2004. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation and therefore retains its' delicious crispness.
The enchanting fruit flavors suggest pineapple and melon and are complimented by a nice creamy mouthfeel. The wine finishes with a brisk minerality. It is the perfect foil for all seafood and absolutely satisfying as an aperitif.
