Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
The fruit for this wine was sourced from one of the oldest vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley. Winemaker Mike Brown has created a new world style Sauvignon Blanc by use of Stainless steel fermentation with no oak barrel aging. The wine is made in a style that truly reflects the bright nature of this varietal. The resultant wine is crisp, light and flavorful with classic floral, gooseberry and grapefruit overtones. Its firm acidity makes it perfect to pair with grilled fish, spicy seafood dishes and summer salads.

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.
