<p><font size="2"><b>TASTING NOTES</b><br />“Bold and bright aromas fill the nose followed by a rich mouthful of citrus and melon which linger on the palate. This is a very crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that will pair well with a variety of foods.” - <em>Joy Andersen, Winemaker</em></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><b>VINTAGE</b> </font></p>
<ul>
<li><font size="2">The 2007 growing season was very similar to the 2005 vintage – warm at the beginning and average temperatures throughout the rest of the season.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">As with 2005, this vintage lacked rainfall from the start of the season, which lead to smaller canopy growth and good, early fruit exposure.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">Ripening conditions and temperatures were excellent and low wind was reported throughout the season.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">Bud break occurred right on schedule and the onset of veraison was one week earlier than usual, an indication of a smaller crop with intense flavors and good sugar development.</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="2"><b>VINEYARDS</b><br /></font></p>
<ul>
<li><font size="2">Columbia Valley vineyards are located east of the Cascade Mountains and receive just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">Soils are deep and sandy with low water-holding capacity and are nutrient poor, which encourages fruit development rather than vine growth.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">Warm, sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal conditions for intense aroma, flavor and acidity development in the ripening grapes.</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="2"><b>WINEMAKING</b> </font></p>
<ul>
<li><font size="2">After a gentle pressing, the fresh juice was inoculated with Prise de Mousse yeast to initiate a 12-day fermentation in refrigerated stainless steel tanks.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">The style of this Sauvignon Blanc showcases pure varietal expression of Washington state fruit.</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="2"><b>TECHNICAL DATA</b><br /><br />Alcohol: 13.7%<br />Total Acidity: 0.71g /100ml<br />pH: 3.14<br />Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc</font></p>
