High Valley Sauvignon Blanc, High Valley, Lake County, 2016 750 ml

The High Valley California Appellation has an elevation that ranges from 1,600 to 3,000 ft. Thanks to the cool breezes from the oldest lake in North America, it is one of the coolest appellations in Lake County. Our vineyards are certified sustainably farmed. We run sheep in the vineyards, composting the weeds into nutrients for the red, rocky volcanic soils. These are intensely flavored grapes crafted into wines that capture the character of this remarkable region. This High Valley Sauvignon Blanc has notes of apricot and pear that come through on the nose, uplifted with hints of orange blossom. The grapefruit flavors on the plate show nicely with undertones of lemon grass and a hint of pineapple on the finish. www.shannonridge.com.Alc. 13.6% by vol.
