2009 Lake County Sauvignon Blanc
This is our first go Sauvignon Blanc and we are very excited about what we have done. We had the
opportunity to get some amazing juice in 2009 and we jumped on it because we wanted to make a
new white wine. Our goal was to make a wine that is of great value, but still very high in quality.
We believe that we have found it at the organically farmed Springer Vineyard. The vines are over
20 years old so they are well established and producing complex and just plain tasty fruit. We could
not pass it up!
The wine has spent its whole life in stainless steel and we bottled it this summer- super simple,
strait forward winemaking from incredible source material. This Sauvignon Blanc seems like the
perfect cross between a New Zealand, a Californian and a Pouilly-Fumé. The wine is just a bit
grassy, along with wild tropical fruit flavors. It is rich and lush, but still very racy. This wine is great
for all seasons and an excellent pairing with oysters, cream sauced pasta and fish dishes. We made
just a tiny bit this year, just two barrels.
