Dollarhide Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Napa Valley
The Dollarhide Estate Sauvignon Blanc showcases the power and elegance of the Dollarhide Ranch most elegantly. The fruit primarily comes from one parcel within the vineyard, featuring almost 40-year-old vines and deep sandy loam. A gentle amount of new French oak and lees aging rounds out and relaxes the profile of this robust white wine.
Vineyard
The Dollarhide Vineyard is often referred to as a “valley within a valley”, featuring elevations ranging from 600 to 1,100 feet above sea level, seven different soil series, 13 soil variations and unique microclimates. Most of the fruit comes from Parcel 5, an area which produced such exceptional Sauvignon Blanc that all future propagations across the entire Dollarhide Vineyard were sourced from here.
Winemaking
After a cool morning harvest, the grapes are fermented between stainless steel and French oak barrels. The wine then rests on its lees for 5 months in 16% new French oak.
Vintage
Low rainfall and a warm summer combined for somewhat early harvests, though the reduced yields provided for some decadently layers wines.
Tasting Note
Fresh aromas of lemon, lemon custard, basil and anise are complemented by a vanillin thread.
