Benchmark California Sauvignon Blanc that has been a staff favorite for the last decade. The combination of techniques used to produce this age-worthy style results in a wine of balance, richness and aromatic complexity. A substantial percentage of Sauvignon Musqué adds floral notes and rich body, complementing the underlying herbal nature of the core grape clone — Sauvignon Blanc, Shenandoah. Barrel fermentation in French oak, 18 percent new, builds body by facilitating twice-weekly lees stirring for six months and the extraction of a hint of sweet oak.
