Horse Heaven Hills
Tasting Notes
Upon pouring this lively Sauvignon Blanc, bold scents of passion friut, gooseberry, and citrus erupt from the glass. Juicy, white fruit & melon flavors team with bright acidity, ending with a lengthy but refreshing finish.
The 2010 vintage was the cooler than the past vintages; bud break arrived on schedule in early April, but a cool, wet spring delayed flowering and reduced fruit set across many varieties.
An unusually cool summer produced dramatic differences in ripening between warmer and cooler sites, with veraison extending into September in some cooler areas.
However, naturally low yields, combined with over a month of consistently warm weather from late September through late October, produced phenolic ripeness and flavor development with extraordinary natural acidity.
Cool, wet weather returned in late October, an appropriate bookend to a challenging harvest.
Overall, 2010 produced balanced, elegant wines with lower alcohol and higher acidity.
