ABOUT THIS WINE:
Bodewell
Sauvignon Blanc
The Yakima Valley in Washington State is home to nearly a third of all wine coming from Washington. The region experiences a diurnal temperature shift with long sunny days and cooler nights, making it a desert-like climate. Vines receive hydration from unique irrigation systems and experience cooling through innovative canopying techniques. With nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, the appellation is ideal for varietals that are not fussy and thrive in the sunshine. Our very own Bodewell Sauvignon Blanc was awarded "Editors' Choice" and 90 points from Wine Enthusiast, as well as "Best in Show" and 92 points from the 2020 USA Wine Ratings competition. It is a beautiful example of the unique whites that are coming out of an area primarily known for bold and lush red wines.

WINE REGION:
Yakima Valley
Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.

TASTING NOTES:

"Aromas of herb and Meyer lemon lead to tart pineapple and citrus flavors. Mouthwatering acidity keeps it all in focus. It's tasty." -Sean P. Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast. Citrus and fresh grassy notes hit the mid-palate, minerality and bright acidity carry through to the lingering finish.
