About

Product Description:

"On the nose, aromas of honey, orange blossom, warm oak, and caramelized bananas. On the palate, this wine is fresh and clean with a wonderfully juicy mouthfeel and complexity throughout. The acidity is firm but not tart. This Sauvignon Blanc is loaded with bright citrus, tropical starfruit, and a rich, slightly spicy finish with a touch of Meyer lemon custard.

"Early" seems to sum it up for the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc. We had a warm and dry spring with record low rainfall totals for 2013 in California, which led to an earlier than normal budbreak. A nice even, fairly mild summer carried the “early” trend into the fall. Harvest began in late August, about a week and a half earlier than normal, but on schedule given the early budbreak. The great ripening weather held into September leading to an early (welcome) finish to the harvest." -Winery
