Winemaker Rob Hunter Notes
With dry winter and a warm, dry spring, the grapes got off to an early start. When temperatures cooled in mid-September, the maturity slowed down resulting in a longer than anticipated hang time on the vine resulting in rich, ripe fruit flavors that will most certainly help to produce wines of notable complexity. We saw very little sunburn, dehydration or collapsing of the fruit.
Our 2008 Sauvignon Blanc was bottled “sur lie” which gives it a brilliant texture and depth.
