Overview

The 2014 vintage was one of the earliest and warmest on record. Small berries and balanced yields produced grapes that were extraordinary in quality. Modeled after the great white wines of Bordeaux. Sauvignon Blanc and the Sauvignon Gris grapes produce a complex white wine, with depth and great potential for aging but is enjoyable to drink now. Rich in texture and viscous in mouth feel, with lively acidity and a long and supple finish.
