Description:
We want to recognize the grower, Andre La Rochelle, for his enduring patience and hard work in developing this exceptional 5-acre vineyard located off of Piner Road in the Russian River Valey. Flavors of ripe gooseberries, mixed summer melon, and a hint of dried herbs maintain true varietal character. This vintage finishes crisp and clean with nuances of fresh marzipan tart.

Varietal Definition
Sauvignon Blanc:
Sauvignon Blanc is widely grown in California — at over 15,000 acres, it’s now the third most planted variety — and often assumes the moniker ‘Fume Blanc’. This popular synonym, credited to Napa’s Robert Mondavi, derives from the grape’s historic home of Pouilly in France’s Upper Loire Valley, where Sauvignon Blanc is the dominant varietal and goes locally by the name of ‘Blanc Fumé’. When treated with respect and afforded suitable growing conditions, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world’s darlings. Steely, racy acidity, green, gooseberry fruit, asparagus and a grassy, herbaceous character characterize dry wines made from this grape.
