A creamy essence layers over aromas of tropical fruit and hints of lemon, kiwi and lime. The rich, full mouthfeel reveals lush fruit—guava, pineapple, pear, lychee nut, Myer lemon, lime zest and kiwi—and a touch of toasty oak. The refreshing acidity balances with the rounded creaminess to present a crispy, delicious and captivating Sauvignon Blanc. 
 
The 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 Peterson Winery, the vineyard rows run east to west, with 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.
