Upper Barn Sauvignon Blanc

Upper Barn Sauvignon Blanc Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: The Upper Barn vineyard rises to 1,800’ above sea level. With its dramatic views, shallow gravelly soils and cool climate, this seven-acre Estate vineyard consistently produces low yields of intense, mineral-laden Sauvignon Blanc. After pressing, the juice was barrel fermented to add spicy oak characteristics and a lush palate. This wine did not receive malolactic fermentation or stirring of lees. Crisp fruit flavors of ripe melon, fig, lemon and grapefruit on a clay-mineral backbone make this a refreshing companion to food. The Upper Barn name comes from its historical use as the place where horses were changed when crossing over Alexander Mountain Estate and the Mayacamas Mountains.
