Capture Les Pioniers Sauvignon Blanc

Our Les Pionniers Sauvignon Blanc is crisp with acidity, yet elegant and refined. Grown at elevations of up to 2,000 feet, our Alexander Valley fruit comes from a blend of valley, hillside and mountain vineyards that provide an array of layers. Intense aromas of lychee, freshly cut pineapple and mandarin peel culminate with a round, toasty-almond mouthfeel. Fermentation in neutral puncheons and sur lie aging for four months in French oak barrels contributes nuance and depth.

Testing Nose

Pale yellow. Pungent, sexy aromas of lemon, nectarine, white grapefruit, crushed mint, anise and spring flowers. Supple, juicy and penetrating, with a musky complexity to the citrus zest and ripe grapefruit flavors. Conveys a tactile impression of extract without weight. Vibrant and well-delineated sauvignon with excellent balancing acidity. The brisk, persistent, palate-dusting finish shows a refreshing touch of bitterness. This is excellent.
