Description:
The Hess Collection Small Block Series wines come from vineyards of true distinction. This Sauvignon Blanc originates from a steep hillside vineyard in Lake County and is a blend of two different Sauvignon Blanc clones. The Musqué Sauvignon Blanc clone makes up 35% of the blend while the Clone 1 Sauvignon Blanc makes up the other 65%.
The grapes were fermented in stainless steel (15%) and neutral French oak barrels (85%). The Musqué clone brings tropical aromas of pineapple, ruby grapefruit, and melon. The Clone 1 adds grassy aromas typical of this variety, along with white pepper and ginger. The two clones combined add to the complexity of this Sauvignon Blanc. This is a great summer wine with ample acidity and will pair nicely with a wide variety of food including shellfish, creamy pasta dishes, teriyaki chicken, and spicy fruit salsas. Serve chilled. Total production: 540 cases all handcrafted.
