Thursday, April 23, 2020 - While expensive, we really liked this wine. 87% Sauvignon blanc 13% Semillion. The Sauvignon Blanc is from Sonoma Mountain and the semillion is from Napa. Barrel fermented and aged 10 months in 34% new french oak, 34% in second use French oak and 32% stainless steel. They produced 315 cases of this vintage. It would be perfect during the hot summer months. We did a winetasting during COVID-19 and the shelter in place orders with the owners virtually through the DAC. They explained that the blend varies from vintage to vintage. It has a bright start and a big finish. Made in the Bordeaux style. Notes of orange peel, apricot and light tropical. A nice apricot finish. The owners of the winery said that the wine pairs nicely with salty foods, cheese and charcuterie. I really enjoyed it and look forward to more bottles.
