Deerfield Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2006

. . . . of flavors that is! This is why I so enjoy Sauv Blanc! The nose starts out with orange peel, pineapple, and a hint of lemonade, which makes my mouth water instantly. On your palate this wine does not disappoint following through with tart citrus fruits and lovely acidity. Pair with cheese, salads or not at all - whatever you choose this wine will make your day.

...with this Sauvignon Blanc! A fantastic wine for picnics, porch sipping, or late evening appetizers! The nose is ripe with tropical fruits, lemons, kiwi and peach! Granny Smith apples are a dominant flavor on this wine, with a touch of honey balancing out the tartness. Ruby Red Grapefruits kick in on the finish, making this wine a lovely, fruity delight from start to finish!

This savignon blanc is well balanced, crisp and delicious. The best thing about it is the clever cork system they used. It's called a zork and it needs no cork screw. We took it last summer to the beach, on the boat and every picnic we went on.

Our 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is bright and crisp, yet fuller and more generous than you might expect! With a smooth mouthfeel and an uncommonly long finish, this wine truly provides an unrivaled complexity and an exceptional depth.

2006 was an exceptional vintage, especially for early ripening varietals like Sauvignon Blanc. The spring was warm and the summer mild. Winter rains waited until the last grapes were harvested.

Perfectly vine-ripened grapes were hand sorted and whole-cluster cold pressed. Multiple yeast fermentation started in a tank with the temperature read more...slowly lowered to 45 degrees. The final stage of fermentation was in neutral oak barrels in our cool cave. Fermentation took five months, producing a generous amount of glycerin, which contributes to the viscous mouth feel.

Also, we'd like to introduce a new closure called the ZORK. The Zork is, in our opinion, the perfect closure for a wine intended to be enjoyed in
its youth. There is no opportunity for cork taint or other contamination. It is made from surgical quality materials, seals completely and can be removed easily. Simply peel the band
and pop the Zork! It reseals just as simply.    (hide)
