2015 Frias Family Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note:February 04, 2017
First wine at the Frias tasting room with Manny Frias. Clear and pale greenish yellow. Complex and layered nose. Starting off with vanilla yogurt, stone fruits like apricot and pears, saffron, and finishing with citrus and tropical fruits. Moderate acidity (7/10) and a light to medium bodied. Lots of tropical and citrus notes on the palate with a gravelly or stoney finish. Quite crisp and refreshing with a long finish.
All the fruit for this bottling is sourced from the Mello Vineyard in Yountville. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is aged for 15 months in stainless steel and for an additional 3 months in neutral French oak. Only 215 cases produced.
