Chimney Rock Sauvignon Gris Stags Leap District 2009
Sauvignon Gris is a copper-colored grape that is a true rarity in Napa Valley. As full and rich as a Chardonnay, with the bright fruit aromatics of a Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting Notes
This wine is extremely aromatic and full bodied. It has a delicate blend of floral and tropical aromas.
Vineyard Notes
A rarely planted grape in Napa Valley our 1.6 Acre vineyard of Sauvignon Gris gives us low yields of these copper colored variety and extraordinary quality. This vineyard, which is situated in Rutherford, is a viticultural rarity.
Production Notes
In 2009, we were blessed with another dry spring, and beautiful temperate weather throughout the growing season. The few late rains had little effect on our intensely flavored and elaborately ripe, yet balanced, fruit.
