90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Robert Parker rated our 2008 Sauvignon Blanc one of "Fifty Super Domestic Value Wines"

A very clean, fresh and crisp Sauvignon Blanc; Lush aromas of pineapple, guava and banana on the nose, while the palate exhibits fresh-cut grapefruit and tangy lemon zest. A wonderful apéritif wine that pairs well with lighter white fish, green salads and goat cheese. 100% Sauvignon Blanc; Total cases produced: 14,532.

The primary fruit source for our 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is our estate vineyard on the north side of St. Helena; we also source fruit from the highly-respected Crocker vineyard and the acclaimed Morgan Ranch at the base of Mt. Vaca. All three vineyards provide warm days and cool nights, combined with dense clay alluvial soils – excellent growing environments for Sauvignon Blanc.

Winemaker Notes:	After early morning harvests, the grapes are gently pressed into stainless steel tanks. Our winemaker Marco DiGiulio inoculates the juice with a specially-selected yeast culture, designed expressly for Sauvignon Blanc fermentation; the yeast was created to highlight the unique characteristics of the varietal. After fermentation, the wine ages for 5 months in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation.

Reviews:	Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 2009 - 90 Points "Bone dry and zesty in acidity, with pink grapefruit, lemongrass and green apple flavors that have a honeyed edge despite the dryness. Vibrant and clean. Nice with a salad of bitter greens and chevre and whatever else you want to add, in a simple vinaigrette." Named one of Robert Parker's "Fifty Super Domestic Wine Values."
