Proprietary White Wine
The 2010 Carte Blanche Proprietary White is a Bordeaux Blanc-inspired blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon; a tip of the hat to the inspired Bordeaux Blancs. Micro-climate and terroir were selected from Knights Valley’s Blau Vineyards for 68% Sauvignon Blanc and Alexander Valley’s De Lorimier Vineyard for 32% Semillon. Higher elevations and cooler climates allow for slow ripening, coaxing a full
range of flavors that result in this vibrant and full-bodied white wine. A bright, vivid nose shows citrus, orange blossom and stone fruits. A fresh attack reveals pear, white peach, and frangipani, while ripe tannins and definitive acidity showcase lemon zest, wet stones and mineral notes. The extended finish is clean and rich with faint petrol lingering. 250 cases produced | ST92
