Alexander Valley River Road Ranch
Block Collection- Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaker Notes:
The purity and vibrance of this wine’s aromas are immediately apparent. Notes of lime, fresh-mown grass, white
flowers and passionfruit stay true to varietal, while the focused mid-palate brings an intense beam of lime and grapefruit
flavors. The wine’s small portion of barrel fermentation adds a textured roundness to the mid-palate, which is balanced
by bright, lively acidity and another squeeze of citrus on the finish.
***Rated 84 points by Wine Spectator
On the feline side, with lemongrassy, grapefruit flavors accompanied by crisp acids and a peppery
finish. Mainly stainless steel fermented, the wine is dry, with just a touch of neutral oak.
