Spring Mountain Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc - 2008(W-3045)

Spring Mountain Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Winery Story

Spring Mountain Vineyard is an 945-acre estate on the eastern slopes of Spring Mountain. Over 225 acres of the estate are planted to vine, r... (more...)epresenting 135 distinct hillside vineyard blocks with many soil types, exposures, and microclimates. Originally four individual 19th century Napa Valley vineyards, Miravalle, Alba, Chevalier and La Perla are now one vineyard producing estate-bottled wines. Growing primarily Bordeaux grape varieties, the vineyard yields distinctive mountain wines that consistently display concentration, elegance and longevity.

Tasting Note

The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc has a beautiful straw yellow color with green highlights. The nose is an intense combination of citrus and floral n... (more...)otes mixed with pronounced stony minerality – a complex marriage of varietal and specific terroir. The palate is silky and elegant. Clean flavors of lime, grapefruit, white peach, apricot and hints of linden echo the wine’s aromas. Grown in austere, rocky soils, the wine’s minerality is evocative of a Loire Valley Sancerre, yet its weight and texture is pure Spring Mountain.

A refreshingly different sauvignon blanc. Slightly floral aroma, peach and apricot flavors. Delicious!
