The Character
Tasting Notes A delightful mineral-driven wine with lots of texture. The distinct mango and fresh cut soft leaved herbs intertwine perfectly within this wine and makes you want to pour yourself another.
The Story
This wine is a blend of three different vineyards from three different subregions within Washington and Oregon. As Sauvignon Blanc has significantly different profiles from the various regions it comes from, we chose to use different clones with different clonal backgrounds to layer together to make something truly interesting and distinct. Most notable, we include the herb-driven, Friulian-cloned Sauvignon Blanc we source in the Columbia Gorge (think thyme and tarragon), with the Loire-sourced material (Sauvignon Blanc’s true homeland) that features mineral intensity and the classic tropical and stone fruit core the grape is most noted for.
