"The unusual style of our S.B. has been created by a confluence of factors. A key component of this wine is the highly floral Sauvignon Musqué selection from Sancerre, which comprises 1/3 of the blend. The Shenandoah clone balances this out nicely with its classic herbal, somewhat grassy character. For the first time, a substantial proportion of grapes were harvested from our own young estate vyds — nearly 30%.
"Full fermentation in barrels crafted by Tonnellerie Cadus (18% new) moderates green flavors. Elevage in barrel also allows for our biweekly lees-stirring protocol, vital to developing rich mouthfeel." 10,500 cases made.
