Sourced from our Russian River Valley vineyards, our famous estate 2010 Sauvignon Blanc has vibrant straw coloring with a tinge of green and aromatic elements of grapefruit, tangelo, quince flower mint, basil and pear with a mineral note.  You'll find flavors of kiwi, lime zest, with an explosive mid palate of lemon, peach, honey and grass.  All with a bright, clean finish.

A mild, dry spring, with far fewer frost nights than 2008, turned wet in late May. This moisture, along with mild summer temperatures and ample early-summer fog, created some botrytis pressure, but also was superb for flavor development. A September lightning storm provided a scare, but mild weather continued until the end of the month, when a fall heat wave ripened the last of the Sauvignon Blanc. Overall the season was cooler than 2008, with 2550 degree days tallied at our Slusser Road Vineyard.

We grow and vinify our Sauvignon Blanc to be fresh, vibrant, and evocative of the grapes themselves. We have chosen a tin-lined screwcap closure that is unsurpassed in its ability to retain our wine's exuberance. Please note that proper conservation requires cool, even temperatures and the absence of light.
