Sauvignon Blanc

"This is tangy and fresh, with sliced-melon and mineral character. Full body with crisp acidity and a bright, clean finish. Like a pretty young white Bordeaux. A new wine from the daughter of Chuck Wagner of Caymus."

This is a great wine and food pairing for a quiet evening at home or entertaining friends. This Sauv Blanc paired with the bold cheeses in the mac 'n cheese dish is a perfect balance and complement of flavors. We served this wine slightly chilled to bring out hints of grapefruit, peach, and an assortment of tropical fruits. On first taste, the tropical fruits are light and sweet without being too sweet. It gives you the sense of being on a tropical island. The acidity from the grapefruit is a nice balance on the palette leaving your mouth begging for another sip.

Pale Straw Brimming with lime and grapefruit, softened by notes of pear and vanilla. Lemongrass, lychee, and a minerality reminiscent of river stones add layers of fragrance. Bright, clean, and inviting. It has vibrant citrus, grapefruit, and lime zest. Subtle grassy notes and bright acidity are framed by minerality. Very clean and palate cleansing. Fruit forward with a long, lingering honeydew and soft lime finish.

The fresh style of Sauvignon Blanc for which Geyser Peak is famous is best enjoyed in the first 18 months after release when the fruit flavors are most abundant and the acidity bright and crisp. We aimed to capture the best of Sauvignon Blanc’s identity by blending grassier elements (reminiscent of the Southern Hemisphere style) with citrus and mineral notes (most typical in the French style) and passion fruit and melon flavors (typical of the California New World style). As such, our Sauvignon Blanc offers authentic varietal character that can be appreciated by both the novice and the connoisseur.

Leese Fitch Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp and refreshing wine. This wine has a high-tone citrus zest aroma with minerality reminiscent of a brisk ocean breeze. There's a hint of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and tropical Pina Colada. The palate is zippy and alive with Lemon grass spice, but balanced with a touch of creamy tapioca to round out the mid-palate. This is a perfect wine for sipping on lazy summer after- noons, and is equally prepared to stand up to a creamy pasta dish, spicy Thai soup, or a simple dinner of fruit, cheese, and a fresh baked sourdough loaf.

Merry Edwards vintage took all of us here in Sonoma County by surprise -- we really didn't believe the crop would be as large as it looked hanging on the vine! Intellectually, I understand that Sauvignon Blanc, as a varietal, can produce large crops of high-quality fruit. A harvest like this just hasn't happened for a very long time here in our cool valley. Even more unbelievable is the resulting superb quality. The rich core of this flavorful wine is fruit sourced from vines 25-35 years old. That 54% is complemented by 20% Sauvignon Musqué, which adds floral aromatics and depth not present in other types of Sauvignon Blanc. The remainder is the classic Shenandoah selection, or Clone 1, prevalent throughout California. The resulting wine is a show stopper! Its heady perfume nearly explodes out of the glass with the fragrance of orange blossoms and elderflowers. Tones of lychee fruit, fig and ripe pear add more appeal. The mouth is full and weighty from barrel fermentation and intensive lees stirring, balanced by lively acidity and has a finish reminiscent of tangy pink grapefruit.

After picking, we whole cluster press our Sauvignon Blanc on a gentle press cycle to keep phenolics low. The fresh pressed Sauvignon Blanc juice was cold settled to get all grape solids separated to the bottom of the tank. The clean juice above the solids are then racked to another tank where the clean juice is 100% stainless steel cold fermented at 45 degrees to help retain the wines aromas. The wine was then fermented to dryness. A small amount of Semillon is blended in prior to bottling for its aromatic qualities and to deliver more complexity to the final wine.

Monkey Bay pale lemon color with brilliant clarity. A vibrant bouquet of ripe grapefruit, kiwi and pineapple with a hint of freshly cut grass. You'll think you've wandered into Paradise.

Great on its own or pair it with chicken, sea bass or shell fish. Think summer. Think the sun deck.
