Palate
The Sauvignon Blanc is dominated by a complex aromatic mélange of citrus, minerals, and early picked stone fruit that are presented in a voluminous pallet presence with added tropical notes and a luxurious texture that is rich and, at the same time, refreshing.
Growing Conditions
In spite of the drought and the South Napa earthquake, vintners are using words like “quality,” “depth of flavor” and “excellent” to describe their expectations for the 2014 vintage in Napa Valley. Many are also noting “perfect weather,” “abundant crop” and “good fortune” among the blessings they are counting in a season where Mother Nature threw a rockin’ curveball.
Harvest started and ended earlier than usual… for many, a full two weeks ahead of the normal harvest schedule.
