Tasting Notes: This 100% barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc was treated to six months of barrel aging in four year old French oak. The result is a distinct style of wine exhibiting generous green wood and toast integrated with melon and citrus flavors. Don't expect any of the herbaceousness common in many Sauvignon Blancs. This wine's flavors far more resemble the full body and woody extractions of a lightly aged, quality Chardonnay while maintaining the crisp finish typical of its varietal. (Date tasted 03/03/00)
