“The mostly stainless steel fermentation makes this a crisp, clean, refreshing
style of pure Sauvignon Blanc. The wine shows aromas and flavors of sweet citrus and dried herbs. We have been striving for more true “varietal character” with this wine by picking a little earlier, having slightly heavier canopies and laying off the oak. This is a very food versatile wine–try it with salad courses, appetizers or zesty chicken dishes.”

- Sourced from Columbia Valley vineyards Horse Heaven and Cold Creek, as well
as vineyards in the Yakima Valley
- Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the
Cascade Mountains and receive just 6-8 inches of rainfall
annually.
- Warm, sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal
conditions for intense aroma and flavor development in the
ripening grapes.
- Sandy soils with low fertility and low water-holding capacity
enable precise control of vine growth.
- A northerly latitude gives the Columbia Valley roughly two
more hours of sunlight daily during the peak-growing season
than California, increasing the region’s ability to ripen fruit.
