Growing Conditions
The 2016 Kelleher “Block 21” Sauvignon Blanc is our 8th release from the highly regarded, dry farmed vineyard in St. Helena. Aromas of pear, guava and citrus are balanced by a touch of stone fruit. The palate boasts flavors of melons, figs and peaches and is a moderately full-bodied and carefully balanced wine. Our Sauvignon Blanc has a slight richness from the lees stirring and the fruit forwardness is enriched by the depth that battonage imparts on the wine.
