Hot weather called for a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and this crisp delightful wine from Jason Deloach and Hook & Ladder Winery was just what the glass needed.
The grapes were planted in 1985 in front of the winery in the home vineyard Olivet Ranch. Once harvested and pressed, the juice aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels until bottling.
Once in the glass the aroma of fresh cut melon with floral notes, lemon grass and citrus zest please the nose. The mouth is a citrus blast so crisp and refreshing. Flavors of meyer lemon and key lime with splashes of nectarine roll across the tongue. The bottle never lasted the night. Must buy more.
Make sure on your next visit to Santa Rose you swing in for a taste and then grab a few bottles for your cellar. Located at 2134 Olivet Road in Santa Rosa, you have multiple reservation options based on your tasting preference. Trust me they make the good stuff.
Cheers
