Chateau Ste Michelle 2006 Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley Horse Haven Vineyard

WE 90Pts - Tasting Notes - This pure Sauvignon Blanc from our Horse Heaven Vineyard delivers aromas of white grapefruit, lime and grass. We used partial stainless steel fermentation to preserve the Sauvignon Blanc’s delicate varietal character and fresh, crisp quality. We also made some changes in the vineyard to help achieve more varietal green, grassy character in this Sauv Blanc, including smaller crops loads, larger canopies and picking the fruit slightly earlier during harvest. These vineyard practices have helped us push the Sauvignon Blanc in the direction we want it to go.
