One of our favorite wines! Made with grapes grown in our Estate Dos Viñas Vine­yard, it is rem­i­nis­cent of the Marl­bor­ough region of New Zealand- high­ly aro­mat­ic and refresh­ing. This is a dry-yet-fruity wine with a key lime, gua­va and grassy bou­quet. The mouth is crisp with apple and kiwi fruit and a fresh fin­ish.

2018 was an inter­est­ing year. A mild spring led to a favor­able bloom and set peri­od for the grapes. The sum­mer had a high spell of 100-degree days for an extend­ed peri­od which pushed the ripen­ing into high gear. After that the tem­per­a­tures mod­er­at­ed, and the grapes came in over an extend­ed peri­od. Berries sized up and the yields were just slight­ly above our esti­mates. Great col­or and extrac­tion all around!

Notes from our winemaker:

The goal for the Sauvi­gnon Blanc is to make a deli­cious, refresh­ing white wine that pairs with our long, sum­mer nights in Paso Rob­les. Locat­ed on the east­side of Paso Rob­les, our Dos Viñas Vine­yard gets plen­ty of sun­shine, so the trick is to pick ear­ly to tame the alco­hol lev­el. A long, cool stain­less-steel fer­men­ta­tion retains the fruit aro­mas and nat­ur­al acid­i­ty. -Tom Myers
