2009 Peterson Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc

One 750ml bottle

The fresh vibrant aromas and flavors reveal tropical fruit and Meyer lemons with a hint of smoky oak and orange peel. Fresh-picked strawberry and honeydew melon join the flavors mid-palate and linger into the finish. The full, creamy mouthfeel rounds out the flavors and balances the crisp, refreshing acidity. Wonderful to sip solo, but it also pairs well with warm weather favorites—seared scallops, Caesar salad, pasta primavera and so much more. 
 
The Peterson Timber Crest Farms Sauvignon Blanc is from a vineyard planted in 2001 on the valley floor by fourth generation Dry Creek Valley farmer Randy Peters. Adjacent to the winery, the vineyard rows run east to west. They employ cane pruning, so limited leaf pulling is necessary during the growing season. The soil is a yellow sandy loam, with the vines planted on rootstock 101- 14. These factors all contribute to the classic Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc characteristics found in the wine.
