Anchored in lean, rocky and shallow soils, these grapes answer to the sun by day, building character and boldness. But in the afternoon, cooling maritime breezes invite the lighter side of the Sauvignon Blanc personality, revealing delightful acidity and flirty fruit flavors. These vines are comfortably at home here in the Sonoma Valley, but a peek at ancestry tells a tale of a long-ago journey from Sauvignon Blanc vineyards of Chateau d’Yquem, carried by an intrepid pioneer.
Poised yet fun, Frisson’s Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of polished acidity and lively flavors, with aromatics that offer layers of florals, zesty fruits and a mouth-watering personal invitation to enjoy.
This sensuous Chardonnay is perfect for lovers of this varietal, and begins with the romance of the nose. Honey, caramel, a hint of ripe apricot lead to a deeper embrace of peach, a little honeydew and a satisfying edge of limestone tempered with more honey. The palate is full and satisfyingly rich with a long vanilla finish.
