Winemaker Notes
Sauvignon Blanc grapes from a vast range of coastal vineyards were picked at various degrees of ripeness to provide a complex blend of fruit characters. The wine was cold fermented and cold stored in stainless steel to maximize fruit retention. The wine received no barrel or malolactic treatment. The nose displays a myriad of grassy, grapefruit, lemon, and tropical fruit characters, typical of Sauvignon Blanc. The varietal focus follows through to the palate, finishing with zesty natural acidity. A style that is most enjoyable in its youth.

Canyon Road Winery owns 140 acres of vineyards. The majority of the grapes for its wines are sourced from coastal appellations and selected Northern California vineyards. The California appellation is part of the key to the brand's success, since it allows winemakers to roam prime California sources for just the juice they want.
Associate Winemaker Christopher Munsell and Assistant Winemaker Ondine Chattan are the young, dynamic winemaking duo at the head of Canyon Road who are passionate about one thing: making high-quality wines a part of Americans' everyday dining experience. The winemakers work closely with local growers to assure quality fruit, vinify the lots of grapes separately, and then blend the lots before aging (as opposed to aging each lot and then blending.) This technique—and the expertise used to balance the characteristics of each lot against others—creates smooth, well-integrated wines of complexity and depth.
