A long, rainy start to the growing season and cooler than average spring and summer temperatures allowed the grapes an extended hang-time, yielding full flavor development. Our Windy Ridge Sauvignon Blanc opens with tropical fruit aromas and fresh lemon zest. The palate is bright and juicy with lemon curd, honeydew melon, and grapefruit flavors culminating in a refreshing, crisp finish.
