2008 Sauvignon Blanc

Purchase 2008 Sauvignon Blanc

We test drove the idea of producing Sauvignon Blanc for several years. After winding up Oakville Grade and viewing this vineyard near the summit of Mt. Veeder, getting behind the wheel was easy. Our first-ever Sauvignon Blanc has the lively, breezy quality of a convertible and the road manners of a Gran Turismo. Barrel-fermented in 50% stainless steel and 50% neutral French oak, the wine displays bright, refreshing aromas of citrus peel, kiwi, meringue, white peach and spice. The palate is dynamic, delivering a fine balance of broadly textured ripe fruit and zesty, citrus-driven mineral and acidity. 200 cases produced.
