tropical • crisp • guava • fig • passion fruit
Tasting Notes
The Carica 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is made in a classic style like the great wines of Poilly Fumé and Sancerre. With clean, tropical flavors and crisp acidity, Carica Sauvignon Blanc opens with floral notes and aromas of pineapple, grapefruit and gooseberry with a hint of toasty oak. Tasting of guava, fig and passion fruit, the wine has a prolonged, refreshing lime accented finish.
Carica Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect accompaniment to lighter fare such as poultry, shellfish and other seafood. Because of its intensity and clean finish, it will also pair well with richer cream-based preparations.

lush • ripe apricots • dried peaches • tropical flowers • exotic
Tasting Notes
This tall, exquisite silk-screened bottle is a delight to the eye! As Deerfield Gold is poured, your senses will be tantalized by its golden hue and lush aromas of ripe apricots, dried peaches and tropical flowers. The taste is exotic - sweet though not cloying, like dried apricots over Cream Brulée. It’s rich and sumptuous, with nutty nuances and a long, well balanced finish. Gold doesn’t just go with dessert, such as fruit tarts, Bavarian Creams and Creme Brulée - Gold is dessert!
From the Winery
Deerfield Gold is a unique wine made from over-ripe, super sweet, botrytis-engulfed grapes. Common to most growing regions, Botrytis mold (or "Noble Rot" as it's sometimes called) concentrates the sugars as it extracts water from the grapes. The super... »More

$21.99bright • crisp • smooth • complex • long finish
Tasting Notes
Our 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is bright and crisp, yet fuller and more generous than you might expect! With a smooth mouthfeel and an uncommonly long finish, this wine truly provides an unrivaled complexity and an exceptional depth.
From the Winery
2006 was an exceptional vintage, especially for early ripening varietals like Sauvignon Blanc. The spring was warm and the summer mild. Winter rains waited until the last grapes were harvested.
Perfectly vine-ripened grapes were hand sorted and whole-cluster cold pressed. Multiple yeast fermentation started in a tank with the temperature slowly lowered to 45 degrees. The final stage of fermentation was in neutral oak barrels in our cool cave. Fermentation took five months, producing a generous amount of glycerin, which contributes to the viscous... »More

citrus • grapefruit • grassy • melon • pineapple
Tasting Notes
2006 Croze Sauvignon Blanc is light, crisp and well balanced. The moderate structure compliments its bright fruit character, which is in keeping with the winemaker's philosophy and style. Its bouquet reveals fresh aromas of citrus and grapefruit with a hint of newly-mown grass. As the wine warms in the glass, melon and pineapple flavors emerge. The finish is agreeably long and full.
This Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with poultry, fish and pasta dishes. It's perfect with rich sauces and soft cheese. It's also great for sipping - share a cool, refreshing glass with a friend!

$14.99Cantaloupe • cream • lime • tangerine • vanilla
Tasting Notes
The 2005 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a delightfully flavorful and complex wine that pairs perfectly with seafood and poultry. It possesses a complex nose redolent of cantaloupe, cream, lime, tangerine, vanilla and oak. A long refreshing finish complements the viscous, full-bodied mouthfeel. We blended in 2% Semillon from the Granite Hills Vineyard to maximize complexity and enhance that full-bodied texture.

$17.99lemon grass • pine nuts • vanilla • cream • grapefruit
Tasting Notes
The nose starts off pure Sauvignon Blanc with vivacious grapefruit and mineral components. After a few minutes, more citrus and lemon grass aromatics develop along with a swirl of vanilla cream. The citrus scents translate into full citrus flavors with a refreshing "zing"; almost a touch of pine that later opens into a creamy pine-nut like texture on the mid-palate. This mid-palate creaminess is quickly followed by a clean, lingering and mineral finish, making this a perfect summer refresher.
From the Winery
Our 2005 Estate Sauvignon Blanc is our first Bordeaux-Graves style Sauvignon Blanc, except that we blended it with Chardonnay instead of Semillon. This is a crisp, yet complex warm weather wine.
