Pay just 1 cent for shipping. Details at Wine.comWhite Wine by Voss Vineyards from Napa Valley, California. The VV2 Sauvignon Blanc is greenish straw in color and is intense in aromas of melon, guava, grapefruit and fig. On the palate this wine is bursting with melon and citrus flavors. This classic Sauvignon Blanc finishes with crisp and lingering citrus peel notes. The fruit for our VV2 Sauvignon Blanc is grown primarily in Rutherford at our Voss estate vineyard in and a nearby block. Our vineyard has a clay loam soil, while the other consists of a gravelly loam. Additionally, we source a little fruit from another distinguished vineyard site in Yountville. The Voss estate vineyard purchased in 1996, contains heavy clay-loam soils, which when combined with this ideal climate, produce grapes of intensely perfumed tropical fruit character. The two other vineyards are on lighter deeper loam soil. This combined with the slightly cooler climate imparts citrus and mineral flavors along with good acidity.

Despite a very hot 2003 vintage we've been able to keep the juice on skin contact in order to get as much fruit character as possible. The fermentation process was maintained at low temperatures (14 to 16 degrees Celsius) and no malolactic fermentation was permitted, to preserve the crisp character of the wine.

White Wine by Simonsig from South Africa. Pale straw color with hints of green. Fresh tropical fruit on the nose. Delicious concentration of riper sauvignon fruit fill the palate showing green figs, kiwi fruit and gooseberries. Zesty and refreshingly crisp in its youth which should develop into a silky roundness over time. A warm, dry vintage wih welcome rain in October and around New Year replenished moisture in the soil and prevented moisture stress. The sauvignon harvest started 2 weeks earlier than normal in the last week of January and was finished on February 9. The early picking retained more fruit intensity. The wine is made in a reductive style by protecting the juice against oxidation from the vineyard all the way into the bottle.

This is substantiated by the Wine Spectator rating the 2004 Sauvignon Blanc 89 points a full year after vintage.
