144 Signature Wines and Wineries of Washington SAUVIGNON BLANC gourmet pairings This wine is amazing served alongside fresh oysters on the half shell with a light mignonette. Some favorites are Quilcene, Kumamoto, and Shigoku oysters sourced from Puget Sound. tasting notes Our Sauvignon Blanc shows a beautifully distinct varietal character with citrus notes of Meyer lemon and pink grapefruit, perfectly complemented with hints of fresh cut grass, and whispers of boxwood. The natural acidity is harmoniously balanced and complements the flavors encountered on the palate and ending with a fresh, crisp, and clean finish. winemaker's insight Our Sauvignon Blanc is comprised of three different Estate vineyard blocks, each block giving the wine its own unique character. These blocks have slightly different soil compositions with varying amounts of calcium carbonate, and volcanic derived, basalt rock in the sandy loam soil mixture. The wine is fermented very slowly at cool temperatures with the average alcoholic fermentation taking 30 to 45 days. After fermentation, the wine remains on the lees for added mouthfeel and complexity on the palate. awarDs anD DistinCtions Gold Medal – Seattle Wine Awards APPELLATION: Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley COMPOSITION: 95% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Semillon MATURATION: 5 months in stainless steel tanks CELLARING: Brilliant upon release TECHNICAL DATA Buy this wine by scanning image on left VISIT OUR STORE
