Vintage Report
Cooler-than-usual spring weather delayed budburst but was followed by warm and dry flowering conditions, which led to exceptional fruit set in all varieties. Careful vineyard management with precision pruning and crop thinning yielded high quality grape clusters. Harvest began in mid-September and ended the second week of November. The young wines are showing promise with the whites displaying bright fruitiness and refreshing crispness and the reds showing excellent fruit structure and balanced tannins.
Tasting Notes
Our 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is lively and refreshing. Bright and ripe citrus fruit notes mingle nicely with a touch of grassiness. This dry unoaked wine has a clean and fresh finish.
Food Pairing Notes
Pairs nicely with local cuisine; fresh seafood, smoked salmon, and creamy goat’s milk cheeses are ideal matches for the wine’s fresh tropical notes.
