Winemaker Notes
This fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc displays beautiful intensity and complexity of aromas as it is poured into the glass. There are hints of citrus, bright floral notes, melon and a bit of fresh sage. On the palate, there are added notes of lychee nut, green apples and a nutty-butter richness, to compliment the crisp freshness and a wonderfully clean, lingering finish.

Sitting on the northeast side of the Clear Lake appellation, this warm area boasts multiple soil types that allow growers a lot of flexibility and experimentation with grape varieties. While Sauvignon blanc is a mainstay, this zone excels with Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, as well as other less common varieties like Barbera and Tempranillo.
