Winemaker's Tasting NotesWe
love to be creative and to blend wines with intention. Baby BlueBlanc
walks a tightrope that delivers the best qualities of SauvignonBlanc,
bright acidity and freshness, yet tempered by the addition ofViognier
and Semillon in order to enhance the texture, something thatremains
elusive to most Sauvignon Blanc bottled on its own.
Here the subtlest shade of pale straw
radiates with a purity thatseems to first absorb and then reflect back
all the light in the room.The sensory dance continues with pristine
aromas of white peach, orangeblossom, honeysuckle, and lemongrass, all
seamlessly integrated into afragrant and harmonious whole.
Tasting the wine reveals a burst of grapefruit, with lychee,
tangerine,and rainier cherry, followed by a subtle minerality. However,
whatdistinguishes this wine from other Sauvignon Blancs is its texture;
allat once light yet rich in mouthfeel throughout with a lingering
andrefreshing acidity.
Food Affinities
Sauvignon Blanc has a place at the table all year long. Spring andsummer
come to mind first with fresh veggies, fruits, ceviche, oysters,grilled
white fish, poultry and anything else light and refreshing. Andthen the
wonderful truth is that fall and winter also provide ampleopportunity
to celebrate this delightful varietal. The trick is to seekpurity and
balance in your winter flavors, where you taste eachcomponent on the
plate, such as herbed potatoes, fried chicken, wholebaked fish and the
like, all hearty but well delineated. Fun to exploreall year round!
Ageability
Oh so good right away, but also built to
develop for longer thanmany might expect. The 2023 Baby Blue Blanc
should evolve nicely foranother 4-7 years under good cellar conditions.
