In 2002 we produced our sweet Catherine, a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc style wine, profiled after classic French Sauternes, and in 2003 we released a new late harvest Semillon style wine, the 2003 Saint John. John is our 13 year old son, one of our greatest loves, but Saint might be pushing it. He is all boy! This is a classic sauterne wine with a backbone of acid, lush mouth of honey and apricot, and sweet on the finish. The viscosity of the wine is very reminiscent of a fine sauterne wine, one of the profiles we were trying to attain in making this wine.
