“Intense aromas of citrus blossoms, gooseberry, lime, and chalky minerality. Swirling adds fresh herbs, dehydrated citrus peel, and underripe white peach. Youthful and full of life.”
- Bryan Otis, Proprietor
Vintage Notes
100% Sauvignon Blanc. Crafted from three vineyards in the Columbia Valley: Bacchus, Boushey, and Laura Lee. Bacchus is a fully sustainable vineyard and leading source of old vine Washington grapes. This higher elevation vineyard gives way to varied soils, which contributes complexity to the wine. Boushey is a vineyard the Yakima Valley AVA that offers mild temperatures and layered soils that allow for extended hang time on the vines, resulting in well-balanced wines with pure fruit expression. Laura Lee is a lower elevation site located in the Royal Slope AVA and is sustainably farmed. Each vineyard was hand harvested early in the mornings of August 28th – September 15th, 2020 to maintain freshness.
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were hand-sorted and whole-cluster-pressed. The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel to maximize its aromatic potential. Over the course of 8 months, this wine was individually evaluated over 40 times by our winemaking team, and finally bottled with light fining and filtration between May 25th and 27th, 2021. Only 960 cases were produced.
