Wine News awards 2005 Estate Sauvignon Blanc Best of California Sauvignon Blanc

The Wine News, December/January 2007-2008

Barrel fermented with no ML,and blended with small amounts of semillon and sauvignon gris. Wonderfully fragrant, varietal Sauvignon offering complex aromas of white grapefruit and tropical fruit mingled with fresh-cut grass, dried thyme, honeysuckle and lime zest. Super-smooth and full bodied with bright, balancing acidity; complex flavors match the nose with the addition of ripe honeydew melon and lemony citrus, yet the palate never loses its lovely grassiness, which persists into the mineral-tinged close.
