"Clean aromas of mineral, lime and slate with hints of pine and fresh herbs. Lively acidity and juicy flavors of lemon-lime..."
-Wine News
Using estate grapes and selected fruit from growers in the Russian River Valley, the "Russian River Valley" series of wines represent the "heart and soul" of Deloach's offering. Consistently award wining and satisfying, the wines exhibit an elegant fruit-forward flavor profile unique to this appelation. This Sauvignon Blanc was made in much the same style as our previous vintages of Fume Blanc.
Delicious aromas of mellon, passion fruit and dry grass. On the palate flavors of green apple, grapefruit and kiwi are complimented by subtle hints of lychee. A bright crisp wine with a clean lingering finish.

DeLoach Vineyards has been a pioneering producer of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley since 1975. DeLoach seeks to produce exceptional wines that spotlight the singular personality of the Russian River Valley, with its rare and bountiful convergence of the sea, the soil and the stars. The Boisset family of Burgundy has stewarded winegrowing and winemaking at DeLoach since 2003, bringing the techniques and approaches of Burgundy to winemaking in the Russian River Valley, which they believed to be California’s most expressive terroir for cultivating Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Under Boisset, DeLoach has grown its small-lot vineyard designate wine program, become a certified organic and Biodynamic estate vineyard, and implemented traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques such as open-top wood fermentors, native yeast fermentations, and hand punch-downs. Wine & Spirits magazine has named DeLoach Vineyards a Top 100 Winery twelve times.
