2005 Sauvignon Blanc

 

The Kelley & Young Sauvignon Blanc exhibits flavors of ripe grapefruit and honey melon with a clean mineral mouth feel and a citrus finish with just a hint of anise and vanilla oak.

 

The grapes for this wine were grown at Robert Young Vineyards on a high-density Smart-Dysan trellis system.  This trellis system opens the fruit to  ideal sunlight exposure and allows for uniform ripening.  This whole-berry ripening helps alleviate the vegetal character sometimes found in Sauvignon Blanc.  The grapes were hand picked, whole berry pressed, fermented in stainless steel and aged for 12+ months.  Some of the wine was aged in French oak barrels and blended with the non-oaked wine before bottling.  We bottled on March 23, 2007 and bottle aged for 6 months before release.  We present this fine wine to you and hope that you will agree, this is one of the best  Sauvignon Blancs you’ve ever tasted.  605 cases produced.
