"(80% sauvignon blanc from Farina Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain and 20% semillon from Hyde) Pale, bright yellow. Wonderfully fresh aromas of grapefruit pith, honey, lanolin, minerals and fresh herbs. Dense and sweet, with terrific grip and pungency to the flavors of grapefruit, lemon and anise. Wonderfully chewy and tactile wine with a reverberating finish. This stayed fresh in the recorked bottle for days. Most of the sauvignon blanc component did not go through malolactic, but all of the semillon did-"to accentuate its honeyed character," noted winemaker Erickson."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
California's flagship appellation for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon of ripe fruit, plush tannins and cellar-worthy depth.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
Prized both for age-worthy dry whites and, when affected by noble rot, the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It offers waxy texture and honeyed depth.
