Description
The grapes for this Frei Brothers Sauvignon Blanc were whole-cluster pressed to maximize delicate flavors and preserve the naturally firm acidity. The juice was then settled before fermentation to create a softer, more elegant mouthfeel. Sur lie aging gave this wine layers of complexity that extend through the mid-palate and culminate in a refreshing finish. A small portion of the wine was aged in American oak to add layers of complexity after fermentation.

Sommelier Review
Michael Leitner“The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Russian River Valley leaps from the glass with bold grapefruit, gooseberries and passion fruit scents with hints of crushed rocks, struck match and mown grass. Medium-bodied and packed with citrus and tropical layers, it has a zippy line and long finish.”
