Winemaker Notes
Camp 4 Vineyard sits on the eastern edge of Santa Ynez Valley within the bounds of Santa Barbara County. This site was originally owned by Fess Parker and is now owned by the Chumash tribe. The name itself "camp 4" was a stop or a camp en route from San Francisco to Yuma Arizona while the stage coaches were running back and forth.
Bright fresh lime, lemon curd, cracked green pepper and soft peaches. An easy drinking white with that will make your Winter season blossom!
Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character.

That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
On the eastern end of the Santa Ynez Valley, the rolling hills of the tiny Happy Canyon AVA produce top quality reds from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and whites from Sauvignon blanc. The region’s low-nutrient soil grows smaller vines and in turn, higher quality wine grapes.
