2006 X Winery - E.S. Lake County Sauvignon Blanc

Description

100 % Musque Clone Sauvignon Blanc from the unique Clear Lake AVA. Elevation and the Lake both regulate extreme temperatures in this region. Aromas of grapefruit, pear, and tropical fruits with just a touch of banana. Skin contact along with two month post fermentation lees stirring in closed stainless steel drums creates a nice touch of round melon flavors. The stainless steel fermentation and inhibited malolactic fermentation lead to a clean finish with notes of minerality and lemon zest.

Awards

Wine Enthusiast (December 15th, 2007)- 87 Points. "Another super Sauvignon Blanc that shows how well Lake County does with this variety. It's all about the citrus, fig and spicy melon flavors and the juicy acidity, which makes the wine so fresh and clean"
