Sauvignon Blanc
Sonoma Coast
Winemaker’s Notes
This well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc is grown in cool-climate vineyards at the southern end of the Sonoma Coast AVA. The Hi-Vista vineyard in western Carneros, and the Grossi vineyard north of Petaluma, contribute spice and bright, tangy acidity. The Leveroni vineyard south of Sonoma adds the unique floral character of the Sauvignon “musqué” clone. This wine bursts aromas of lemon and grapefruit zest and offers subtle flavors of white peach, key lime, and honeydew melon. It finishes with a refreshing minerality and zesty acidity. Enjoy alongside a wide range of salads and shellfish dishes and a splash of sunshine.

“An aromatic nose of apricots, peaches and Mediterranean herbs. Medium-bodied and rather concentrated and flavorful. Zesty acidity keeps the palate bright throughout. Pleasantly tart.”

Chef Kristine’s recommendation
Bright and vibrant, this wine has a long finish with good acidity. It’s wonderful when paired with French dishes and sauces – this wine just sings with rich recipes! Try with seafood, cream soups, some pates (rillettes), lemon thyme, thyme, roasted garlic, Chanterelle mushrooms, caramelized onions, and mild (or creamy!) Thai flavors such as coconut-based soups, or sauces with little or no heat.
