Sauvignon Blanc

2009 Mendocino County Sauvignon Blanc

The Sagebrush Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from the 2009 vintage is a delightful expression of white wine crafted in the renowned Mendocino County. This Sauvignon Blanc showcases a refreshing, lively profile with a pronounced acidity that invigorates the palate. The wine exudes vibrant fruit characteristics, with a prominent bouquet of citrus and stone fruit notes intertwining harmoniously. It maintains a medium body that offers a satisfying mouthfeel without being overly heavy, making it an excellent choice for a range of occasions. The wine is bone dry, allowing the crispness of the fruit to shine through, while its gentle finish lingers beautifully, leaving a memorable impression. This Sauvignon Blanc is truly a testament to the quality and expressiveness of the varietal in this picturesque growing region.

Region:


Mendocino County

One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
