Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma Valley

Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma Valley Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: This is our fifth vintage of 91% Sauvignon blanc from Sonoma Mountain, and the first one that has not borne a vineyard designation. The warm 2002 growing season resulted in “riper” aromas and flavors in the Sauvignon blanc – more pineapple. Less than 5% each of Semillon and Muscadelle de Bordelais (a.k.a. Sauvignon vert) adds aromas of fig, and mango, and softens the acid somewhat. While it still has very strong Sauvignon blanc character and a crisp, fresh finish this wine has better balance than previous vintages, and should find many fans. Pairs well with lemon chicken, oysters, Asian and Thai foods. 277 cases produced.
