The fruit was picked right at the beginning of the 2017 harvest when the weather was warm and moderate. The Sauvignon Blanc came from a handful of vineyards in southern Lodi and northern San Joaquin that are practically neighbors. The location of the vineyards was perfect for the cool Livermore breezes to rush in at night from the San Francisco Bay which allowed the acidity to set in the fruit. French Colombard was added to give the blend a touch more body in the mid-palate without deterring from the pure essence of Sauvignon Blanc. The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is bright, fruit-forward and balanced with crisp acidity.
