2009 Whitehall Lane Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

One 750ml bottle

This wine is bright and aromatic with hints of honeydew and refreshing flavors of lime peel with a squeeze of orange. 
 
The growing season in '09 was ideal. With an early start in spring, mild summer and good harvest weather the quality of the fruit was outstanding. This gave the grapes ripeness and intensity that was a perfect match for the crisp, fruit forward style of Whitehall Lane Sauvignon Blanc. 75% of the fruit was cool temperature fermented to preserve subtle fruit flavors and aroma and 25% was fermented in new French oak barrels. The barrel fermented portion was aged "on the lees" to add a creamy mid-palate note. 11% Semillon was blended to develop ripe flavors and aromas.
