This fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc displays beautiful intensity and complexity of aromas as it is poured into the glass. There are hints of citrus, bright floral notes, melon and a bit of fresh sage. On the palate, there are added notes of lychee nut, green apples and a nutty-butter richness, to compliment the crisp freshness and a wonderfully clean, lingering finish.
This is the third vintage of Two Angels Petite Sirah to come from the highly-acclaimed Red Hill Appellation in Lake County. By moving to the hills on the eastern side of Clear Lake, the possibility of adding greater complexity to the wine was realized. This area is known for its iron-rich red soils. In many areas, the soils are laced with Obsidian rocks of varying sizes that aid in drainage. After hand-harvesting and careful de-stemming and fermentation, the wine is aged for nine months in French Oak, 20% new.
