WINE REGION:

Outline of Dunnigan Hills

Dunnigan Hills

The lesser-known Dunnigan Hills appellation is nestled in a set of hills in the northwestern part of Yolo County, just east of Sonoma County. Known for producing big reds and lighter more acidic white. With rolling hills varying between 200 and 500 feet elevation, the region experiences vast diurnal temperature swings. This extreme change between dry heat during the day and cool temperatures at night allows the area to boast an extremely long growing season.

TASTING NOTES:

Pear

Peach

Gooseberry

A chorus of green melon, ripe pear, fleshy apricot, and sweet gooseberry all create a gorgeous rhapsody of flavor. Our Sauvignon Blanc is plusher than you may normally expect from this popular variety and will fall into a rhythm with a variety of flavorful dishes.
