2005 Sauvignon Blanc
Winemakers Comments

Our Sauvignon Blanc wines always have an unusually large persona for this varietal but the 2005 vintage is particularly robust. Grass, gravel, and a little apricot suggestion in the nose combine with a pear-like character in the mouth and linger into the finish. Drink now through about 2012.
