2009 Peirson Meyer Sauvignon Blanc, Ryans’s Vineyard, Napa Valley

We are proud to offer our second release of Sauvignon Blanc. We have crafted this wine with a key philosophy in mind; Sauvignon Blanc should not only present the classic freshness true to the varietal, but should also provide an ample and textured mouthfeel. This wine is fermented in neutral oak barrels to gain the benefit of small amounts of air throughout the aging process without adding the impact of oak flavor. The juice was fermented with indigenous yeasts to offer the inherent complexity provided by this natural process, and the wine was allowed to age on the lees with light battonage to build the palate.

Again in 2009, you can enjoy light and delicate aromas of white flowers, ripe apple and melon. We have also achieved the silky and weighty presence on the palate that is now a signature of this wine. We are pleased to now label this Sauvignon Blanc with the Ryan’s Vineyard designation.

$25 per 750 ml bottle.
