2007 Rock Star Blanc, California
PRODUCTION NOTES
A blend of Pope Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Napa Valley. The grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented: 70% in stainless steel at 45°F for 2 months. The remaining 30% was barrel fermented in one and 2-year-old French oak barrels and was left sur lies for 6 months. The two lots were combined in March 2009 and stored in stainless steel until bottling.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
This crisp, dry white wine is a refreshing blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Chardonnay. Crafted as a harmonious blend of two distinct varietals, the finished wine incorporates both, the crisp, herbal notes of Sauvignon Blanc in concert with the ripe, supple apple and vanilla medley of Chardonnay.
