Terroir

In search of terroir that would produce a Sauvignon Blanc with great natural acidity and minerality we turned to the southern end of Napa Valley, specifically the Oak Knoll District, where the Dry Creek alluvial fan forces vines to root themselves deeply into the earth in search of water and nurturance. The marine influence of San Pablo Bay (just 15 miles away) allows for diurnal swings of 35-40°F. The combinations of soil and climate foster full flavor maturity for Sauvignon Blanc - sugars rise in balance with acid levels due to the longer and gentler ripening period.
