2008 CROZE Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is said to be one of the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon--the other being Cabernet Franc. This delicate and lovely wine began life in the hills of Lake County, overlooking Clearlake. This beautiful wine reflects it's terroir--hot days, cool nights, perfect soil. The delicate nose has a hint of lime and mineral while the flavors are layered with citrus oils and honeydew. This wine will mellow with age. Drink now through 2015.

Tasting Notes:

The 2008 CROZE Sauvignon Blanc is light, crisp and well balanced. This wine reflects the vineyard’s low yield of intense, varietally correct fruit. Its bouquet reveals fresh aromas of lime and mineral. As the wine opens in the glass, layering flavors of citrus oil and honeydew emerge. The finish is agreeably long and full and its white gold hue glows in the glass. 2008 CROZE Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with salads, poultry, fish and lighter pasta dishes. It always compliments a friend!

Vineyard Notes:

Monte Lago Vineyards are located in the Northern hills overlooking Clearlake, in Lake County, CA. Hot days, cool nights and perfect soil produce a low yield and intensely varietal fruit.

Production Notes:

The grapes were hand-picked crushed and fermented in small lots to preserve the fruit's varietal character and avoid extraction of harsh tannins. A long, cool fermentation in a sstainless steel tank further preserved the fresh aromas and flavors.
