Tasting Notes

“This pure Sauvignon Blanc from our Horse Heaven Vineyard offers flavors of white grapefruit and lime with hints of fresh herbs. We used partial stainless steel fermentation to preserve the Sauvignon Blanc’s delicate varietal character and give this wine a crisp, vibrant fruit appeal.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker
