Description:
This is made from two separate pickings and two different sections at this special vineyard. Lot I is from the part of the vineyard I call “The Point” and Lot II is from the original vineyards that I started with in 2001 and that I ended up picking a full month later. My Westerly Sauvignon Blanc production now “big” enough, a whopping 900 cases that I can pick on two different days. I really like being able to pick some high acid nervy lean grapes and supplement those flavors with some riper richer sweeter stuff. 2005 is a good Sauvignon Blanc year, especially for earlier consumption as the wines are not quite as intense as years past. The flavors in 2005 are very good – usually I am trying to balance when to pick (looking for flavors) with sugar levels (trying to get flavors without excessive sugar). This year the grapes had flavors early – they tasted good even before they were fully ripe.
