Sauvignon Blanc Valley View Vineyard Hand Selected

2009 Santa Barbara County Sauvignon Blanc

This 2009 vintage boasts a light body, making it incredibly refreshing and easy to enjoy. Its high acidity provides a vibrant quality that brightens the palate and enhances the wine's overall liveliness. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing delightful notes of zesty citrus and ripe stone fruits, which are beautifully complemented by subtle herbal undertones.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
