Tasting Notes

“The mostly stainless steel fermentation makes this a crisp, clean, refreshing style of Sauvignon Blanc. The wine offers fresh aromas and flavors of lemongrass, apple and melon. We add Semillon, which contributes an appealing fig character and a beautiful soft, rich quality to the wine.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

The Vineyards
  • Sourced from our Horse Heaven Vineyard, as well as vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley.
  • Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and receive just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually.
  • Sandy soils with low fertility and low water-holding capacity enable precise control of vine growth.
  • Warm, sunny days and cool evenings create ideal conditions for aroma and flavor development in the ripening grapes.
  • 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.
