Product: Two Angels Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Producer: Two Angels
Country: United States
Region: High Valley, CA
Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Alcohol Strength: 13.4% by volume
Description:
This fruit-forward wine has pleasing intensity in the nose with herbal hints of dried thyme and sage that integrate nicely with lemon peel and gooseberry notes. The wine has a wonderful presence on the palate from entry to finish. The flavors mimic the aromas with added nuances of kiwi, crenshaw melon and basil.
Winemaker’s 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 2007 vintage, 60-percent of the grapes were whole cluster pressed, with 40-percent crushed, chilled and allowed to undergo skin contact for six hours before pressing.
Serving Hints:
Serve slightly chilled, a great accompaniment to fish and shellfish.
