2006 Sauvignon Blanc
This is our
fifth vintage of sauvignon blanc.
This
year we
were able to get all of our fruit from the Hopkins Ranch, in the Russian
River Valley. The vineyard is on Eastside Road and gently slopes down to the
Russian River.
For
sauvignon blanc, the 05 harvest was abundant. The grapes were picked at full
ripeness that resulted in non herbaceous flavors. The wine exhibits citrus,
melon, and floral tastes and aromas.
Our 05
sauvignon blanc was fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel which helps
show the fresh flavors of the fruit. This wine was made in a style that will
keep it tasting great for a number of years. It need not be consumed right
away, as many white wines must.
320
cases were made. Both the fruit and wine were produced in Healdsburg,
California.
