Juice
2009 Pearl Sauvignon Blanc
64% Evergreen Vineyard, 36% Stillwater Creek Vineyard, with a touch of the noble rot, botrytis cinerea. This lovechild of the Loire Valley and New Zealand is loaded with flavors of white grapefruit, guava, honeydew melon and smells of hot sidewalk after summer rain. Pearl was pressed whole cluster, aged on lees in stainless steel and neutral French oak and received weekly battonage for four months. Tastes like summertime.
Appellation: Columbia Valley
Production: 124 cases
