$15.00 per bottle
Description:
The grapes for 2004 were handled with the utmost care from the vine to the winery, where an unusually long and cool fermentation was utilized to preserve all of the grapes natural and more delicate flavors. A combination of 20% neutral barrel and 80% stainless steel during this process has produced a clean wine with depth, complexity and a richness of mouth feel.

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.
