Simi Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes This brilliantly clear pale-straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc is bright and crisp. The wine opens with complex aromas of fresh straw green papaya lime leaf pink grapefruit green apple lemon grass honeysuckle and wet stone. Refreshing forward zesty flavors of lime lemon grapefruit white peach and passion fruit follow with bright acidity. The finish is long and full with hints of lime and minerals. 98% Sauvignon Blanc 2% Semillon Vineyard Notes 2016 was a great growing season for white varietals. A mild spring with light rains and good weather at an early flowering set up an extended growing/ripening season. Moderate to warm temperatures-88-95F during the day with cool nights and foggy mornings-allowed for slow gentle ripening giving full fruit expression while maintaining brilliant minerality. Harvest lasted about one month commencing on August 22 and wrapping up on September 19. Brix at harvest was between 20.4 and 25 degrees. Winemaker Notes SIMI Sauv
