<b><i>2006 Sauvignon Blanc</b></i><br><br>
Our second bottling of Sauvignon Blanc builds upon the great inaugural vintage with an extra layer of aromatic and structural power. We are very proud of this dynamic bottling.<P>
<B><U>Winemaker Notes:</B></U><br>
“A light green/straw color precedes explosive aromatics of citrus rind, grapefruit and honeysuckle. The palate is bright, zesty and energetic. Flavors of clementine and ripe melon surround a tight core of honeyed minerals and deep fruit extract. The mid-palate is creamy and textured and balanced by prominent chalky acidity which lifts the finish. Serve at no cooler than 50 degrees to allow the wine’s full character to emerge. Two to three years aging will see the honeyed citrus character gain in richness balancing the vibrant acidity and allowing the wine to naturally unfold. This wine holds unusual aging potential for a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc.” Winemaker Andy Smith<P>

"This is a historic vineyard that has the talented Andy
Smith (the winemaker at DuMol and a few other places)
in full charge of the wines. He continues to prove that
proprietor Cam Baker has a superb site, with 120 acres
under vine in a 150-acre parcel flat on the valley floor just north of St. Helena. They have added a 2006 Sauvignon
Blanc to the portfolio, which sees about 10% new oak,
and shows the classic Sauvignon notes of honeyed
grapefruit, fig, melon, and lemon grass. It is a
medium-bodied wine but has surprising intensity and
length. Drink it over the next 1-2 years."<BR>
