We focus on sites with well-drained soils and different rootstocks in order to craft a wine that is refined and elegant with a rich palette of fruit. Zesty flavors and aromas of grapefruit, citrus and honeydew mingle with a subtle grassy note that is complemented by a lingering finish of mango and guava. Aging partially in stainless steel and older French Oak gives this wine a crisp freshness and a subtle oak character that adds great complexity and depth. <br /><br /><b><i>Vintage Notes</i></b><br /><br />A cool, dry year from January to August ensured the vines set a light, small berried, intense crop. September and October were mild, with fruit picked at an even pace, making for a relatively stress-free season. The first week of October brought cool days, swiftly moving clouds, acorns rapidly dropping, leaves yellowing and chilly nights. Overall this had to be one of the fastest harvests we can remember, yielding slightly lower than average, but with incredible concentration and intensity of flavors in the grapes. <br /><br /><b><i>Winemakers Notes</i></b><br /><br />When the Sauvignon Blanc grapes arrive at the winery, each lot is gently crushed, de-stemmed and pressed, and then moved directly to stainless steel tanks or older French oak barrels for fermentation. Individual lots are kept separate; the wine in barrels are sur lie aged and stirred every two weeks for four months, while the wine in stainless steel tanks remain undisturbed. Individual lots are selected to create the final Fume Blanc blend. <br /><br /><b><i>Appellation:</i></b> Sonoma County<br /><br /><b><i>Blend:</i></b> 100% Sauvignon Blanc <br /><br /><b><i>Cooperage:</i></b> 57% Stainless Steel; 43% older French oak <br /><br /><b><i>Release Day:</i></b> March 2008 <br /><br /><img height="65" src="https://www.nexternal.com/fcwinery/images/p_glass-white.jpg" width="37" /><b><i>Rhonda's Recipe and Pairing Notes</i></b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/spicy-lime-ginger-grilled-shrimp.aspx" target="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/spicy-lime-ginger-grilled-shrimp.aspx">Spicy Lime-Ginger Grilled Shrimp</a><br /><br />The 2007 Fum&#233; Blanc pairs well with simple seafood and light pasta dishes, and also holds up nicely with white meats such as veal and pork.
