Due to a wet spring and mild growing season the '10 harvest started two weeks later than is normally expected. Later, milder seasons tend to result in wines of fine elegance and balanced natural acidity. In the winery, Duckhorn takes precautions to be respectful to the characteristics of the fruit, resulting in wines of character and intrigue. 
 
This enticing Sauvignon Blanc offers a beautiful combination of freshness and complexity. The aromas are rich and layered with elements of pineapple, guava, peach and lemon zest. On the palate, the entry is crisp and inviting with good acidity supporting flavors of lemon meringue, grapefruit, pear and flint. The addition of Sémillon accentuates the wine’s tropical notes with subtle oak adding nuance and dimension.
