High Valley

Sauvignon Blanc 2022

A spectacular example of High Valley terroir, our Sauvignon Blanc is uplifting in all the best possible ways. Note: This wine may contain tartrates. We call them “Lake County Wine Diamonds”. Tartrates occur in wines when potassium and tartaric acid (both natural products of grapes) bind together to form a crystal when the wine is chilled. It’s completely harmless to consume.

About this wine

  • Vegan

Crafted with grapes sourced from the Round Mountain vineyard, this wine is brimming with lush apricot, pear and orange blossom aromas. On the palate, crisp grapefruit flavors are enhanced by herbal, citrus notes of lemongrass and a hint of fresh pineapple on the finish.

Vintage Notes

Every three to four weeks, an unusual weather phenomenon would pass through the warm and temperate spring. The start of summer was marked by a heat wave that reached up to 110˚ F in Lake County, a little lower than our southern neighbors. We've never experienced such heat, followed by heavy rain, in the middle of summer. The two inches we got put off picking till the soil dried up and the brix level rose. This harvest was like playing a game of weather dodgeball.
