The North Coast Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from vineyards in Napa Valley, including, from south to north, Estate ranches in Carneros, Suscol Springs, Rutherford and Calistoga and top vineyards throughout the North Coast. The exceptional fruit from these sites produces a rich, complex Sauvignon Blanc that is simultaneously fresh, crisp and zesty.
Grapes are harvested during the cool nighttime hours to fully capture their fresh, pure flavors and vibrant acidity. Whole-cluster-pressing of the fruit under anaerobic conditions maximizes varietal intensity while minimizing the extraction of astringent compounds from the skins.
Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, concrete eggs, or neutral French oak barrels, with meticulous temperature control to fully express varietal character and aromatic integrity. The wine was then aged for five months—64% in stainless steel, 30% in neutral French oak, and 6% in concrete eggs—to build complexity and finesse before bottling.
