Alcohol: 14.2%
Sub-Appellation: High Valley
Fermentation: Cold fermentation
Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Winemakers Notes: The grapes for Two Angels come exclusively from the Shannon Ridge Ranch vineyards which boast extremely volcanic, red pumice stone terroir. Hugging the mountain rims along the east edge of the High Valley AVA at close to 2,200 feet, the area is reminiscent of the Rhone Valley’s Crozes-Hermitage vineyards. From the top of the steep, north-facing slopes of the Sauvignon Blanc vines, there is a commanding view of California’s largest natural lake, Clear Lake. While the vines bask in warm sunshine most of the day, the cooling westerly winds off the lake lower temperatures significantly, creating ideal growing conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. For the 2006 vintage, 60% of the grapes were whole cluster pressed, with 40% crushed, chilled and allowed to undergo skin contact for six hours before pressing.

“Like a breath of springtime in the California hills. Hints of new green grass, acacia blossom, clover honey and buttercup lead to notes of cassis in this bone-dry, crisply acidic wine, which shows how beautifully Lake County deals with Sauvignon Blanc.”
