Karen Meyer is originally from Perth, Austrialia, and made wine there, France and in New Zealand. She continually produces this wonderful Mendocino County sauvignon blanc. We've sold this now 6 years in a row. Grown in Yorkville Highlands, the slightly cooler climate yields fresh, crisp and flavorful fruit. Let the wine breathe for a few minutes and the watermelon & caramel aromas will come through. Clean lime and grapefruit flavors are a great combination. This crisp complexity is what New Zealand SB SHOULD be like, but often fails.

Winery Notes: "Tasting Notes:

The heat at the end of the summer ushered in a ripe style with slightly higher alcohol that is typical for our Sauvignon Blanc. Still, you see the notes typical of this vineyard. Out of the bottle, the wine bursts with juicy fruit flavors of ripe melon and nectarine, backed up by aromatic notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and guava. Although the acid is present, this vintage is more dense than typical and has a viscosity that beckons a rich charcuterie. We soften that edge by giving it four months of age in neutral French oak barrels, which adds a bit more complexity and richness.

Winemaking Notes

The grapes were harvested at daybreak, arriving at the winery very cold. They were destemmed and pressed immediately and let settle for five days at chilled temperatures. The Sauvignon Blanc was racked off lees and fermented moderately cold to retain fruity aromas. Half was fermented in used barrels and half in stainless. After settling and racking, the Sauvignon Blanc was combined with the Semillon (fermented the same way) and aged in barrel for another four months. It was then filtered and bottled in time for a spring release."
