2017 Sauvignon Blanc

The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of Sauvignon Musqué coming from two contrasting vineyard sites. Kick Ranch is a hillside vineyard located on the western side of Spring Mountain, and is graced by the cool coastal fog of Sonoma County. As such, this site provides vibrant minerality that supports and frames the wine. The Aetna Springs vineyard in Pope Valley (a sub-AVA of Napa Valley), sees warmer summer days and contributes ripe stone fruit and tropical characters.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, this wine evokes the epitome of summertime aromatics- fragrant jasmine blossom, lemon curd, honeydew melon and a hint of spearmint. Ripe flavors of white peach and juicy tangerine are followed by crisp layers of lime-citrus and sliced green apples. The use of stainless steel barrels (60%) gives the palate a delicate, refined entry and bright acid backbone, while the use of new and seasoned barrels, adds a hint of spice and complexity. The use of lees stirring throughout fermentation and aging gives the sensation of mid-palate weight and creaminess, and adds a stylish note to this deliciously elegant wine.Click here for tech sheet
