2014 Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Creek Valley
2014 was another warm summer in Sonoma County. In the vineyard, we had to leave more leaf canopy to protect the clusters from sun burn. Harvest came a week or two earlier than “normal”, but we have not had a normal season in years. Warm dry winter and spring led to early bud-break and everyone was expecting a very early harvest, but August didn’t bring the usual 100 degree heat. Leisurely ripening at the end of the season helped to develop concentrated tropical flavors and aromas. We fermented this wine using techniques that my brother and I gathered in New Zealand, including stainless steel fermentation. The temperature control of tank fermentation develops intense fruit aromas and keeps the wine crisp and clean. This vintage expresses aromas of honeydew melon, lychee, and orange blossom. In the mouth it is tropical passion fruit, green apple and kumquat. Drink now, preferably on a warm spring evening.
