Winemaker’s notes: This is the first time we have produced a reserve wine. This particular vintage had exceptional fruit. The same fruit was used in the the regular 2004 sauvignon blanc. At a certain point we bottled the sauvignon blanc but saved 360 gallons and aged it in neutral barrels, for an additional 5 months. This impact of the barrel aging influenced the texture of the wine and created a seamless mouth feel but, still shares a lot of the characteristics of the original wine that spent time only in stainless.
