Our second bottling of Sauvignon Blanc builds upon the great inaugural vintage with an extra layer of aromatic and structural power. We are very proud of this dynamic bottling.
Winemaker Notes:
Alcohol 14.7%
100% Sauvignon Blanc: 61% Larkmead + 39% D'Amrosio Vineyard Barrel aged 8 months in 9% new French oak, balance neutral oak 560 cases produced.
Tasting notes: "A light green/straw color precedes explosive aromatics of citrus rind, grapefruit and honeysuckle. The palate is bright, zesty and energetic. Flavors of clementine and ripe melon surround a tight core of honeyed minerals and deep fruit extract. The mid-palate is creamy and textured and balanced by prominent chalky acidity which lifts the finish. Serve at no cooler than 50 degrees to allow the wine's full character to emerge. Two to three years aging will see the honeyed citrus character gain in richness balancing the vibrant acidity and allowing the wine to naturally unfold. This wine holds unusual aging potential for a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc."
