Blend:
90% Sauvignon Blanc 10%
Semillon
The Vintage:
In 2006 the Sauvignon Blanc
grapes
were harvested in mid-September after a late
spring bud break and mild growing season. This
temperate weather provided for slow, steady and
ideal grape development throughout the summer.
By September 21st, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes
reached ultimate ripeness with ideal sugars and
crisp flavors. The Semillon also enjoyed a slow
but even growing season and was harvested
during the second week of October.
Tasting Notes:
The 2005 Sauvignon Blanc is
a
refreshing, clean wine with aromas of
grapefruit,
tart apple and hints of fig. It is light to
medium
bodied and delivers rich and refreshing citrus
flavors and excellent balance.
Wine Spectator, August 31, 2007
“A pretty herbal note of mint and cut grass
gives
this freshness, with lime peel and
fresh-squeezed
orange juice notes and a jazzy acidity. The
melon
and grapefruit nuances are perfumed. Drink now.”
